How do I alter the text property of my label to display my "if" statements? - flash-builder

Question

What do I need to place in my SLabel text=" " to display what is defined with my if statements?
Here is my code so far:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="955" minHeight="600">
<fx:Declarations>
<!-- Place non-visual elements (e.g., services, value objects) here -->
</fx:Declarations>
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.events.SliderEvent;
protected function ValueSlider_changeHandler(event:SliderEvent):void
{
ValueLabel.text = String(ValueSlider.value);
if(String(ValueSlider.value) == "0")
ValueLabel.text = "150";
if(String(ValueSlider.value) == "1")
ValueLabel.text = "333";
if(String(ValueSlider.value) == "2")
ValueLabel.text = "543";
if(String(ValueSlider.value) == "3")
ValueLabel.text = "9342";
}
]]>
</fx:Script>
<s:Panel x="199" y="141" width="250" height="200">
<s:HSlider id="ValueSlider" x="78" y="69" maximum="3" minimum="0" stepSize="1" value="1"/>
<s:Label id="ValueLabel" x="109" y="38" text= "{ValueLabel.text}"/>
</s:Panel>

Answer 1

import mx.events.SliderEvent;
<s:HSlider id="ValueSlider" x="78" y="69" maximum="3" minimum="0" stepSize="1" value="1"/>
s:HSlider spark has no SliderEvent
s:HSlider should bind to mx:HSlider. mx:HSlider has no stepSize so remove it.
so that the "ValueSlider_changeHandler(event)" to be effective, it must be set to:
change="ValueSlider_changeHandler(event)"
The complete Line:
<mx:HSlider id="ValueSlider" x="78" y="69" maximum="3" minimum="0" value="1" change="ValueSlider_changeHandler(event)"/>
Now it should look like:
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.events.SliderEvent;
private var slvalue:int = 0;
protected function ValueSlider_changeHandler(event:SliderEvent):void
{
slvalue = ValueSlider.value;
if(slvalue == 0)
ValueLabel.text = "150";
if(slvalue == 1)
ValueLabel.text = "333";
if(slvalue == 2)
ValueLabel.text = "543";
if(slvalue == 3)
ValueLabel.text = "9342";
}
]]>
</fx:Script>
<s:Panel x="199" y="141" width="250" height="200">
<mx:HSlider id="ValueSlider" x="78" y="69" maximum="3" minimum="0" value="1" change="ValueSlider_changeHandler(event)"/>
<s:Label id="ValueLabel" x="109" y="38" text= "{ValueLabel.text}"/>
</s:Panel>
You can NOT test it like :
ValueLabel.text = String(ValueSlider.value);
if(String(ValueSlider.value) == "0")
ValueLabel.text = "150";
ValueLabel.text = "150" is immediately overwritten by the next event !!!
Store it in a local variable! Above: slvalue
