Values in ActionScript
Strings, integers, floats, and booleans are essential data types in programming. Here’s how you can work with them in ActionScript.
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class Main extends Sprite {
public function Main() {
// Strings, which can be added together with "+".
trace("go" + "lang");
// Integers and floats.
trace("1+1 =", 1 + 1);
trace("7.0/3.0 =", 7.0 / 3.0);
// Booleans with boolean operators as you would expect.
trace(true && false);
trace(true || false);
trace(!true);
}
}
}To run the program, compile the code with the ActionScript compiler (mxmlc) and then execute it with a compatible runtime environment.
$ mxmlc Main.as
$ fdb Main.swf
go
golang
1+1 == 2
7.0/3.0 == 2.3333333333333335
false
true
falseNow that we can run and build basic ActionScript programs, let’s learn more about the language.
