Simple BIRT expression issue

I am designing a BIRT report and want to display or hide a text in the BIRT report.

In the property editor, under "Visibility", I have checked the "Hide Element" checkbox and selected the "For All Outputs" radio button.

I am passing the value 1 to the column HIDE. The column HIDE is set as a String in the column mapping. If the value of HIDE is 1, I want to display it else, I want to hide it.

In the expression, I have added the below script

function check(value)
{
    if(value=="1")
    {
    return false;
    }
    else
    {
    return true;
    }
}
check(row["HIDE"])

But the text is always getting hidden and I am not able to find out why. I binded the data the column is returning and I am able to see the value 1 being displayed in the report. Not sure why it is not working in the Expression builder for hiding.

Look at my answer to this question for a picture. For the compare funtion you select Not Equal to and in the function field you just enter "1". You can leave the field for the value to display blank.
