78 Flash Lite Operators
–– (decrement)
Subtracts 1 from expression. The pre-decrement form of the operator
(
––expression) subtracts 1 from expression and returns the result as a
number. The post-decrement form of the operator
(expression––)
subtracts 1 from
expression and returns the initial value of expression
(the value before the subtraction).
/ (divide)
Divides expression1 by expression2.
/= (division
assignment)
Assigns expression1 the value of expression1 / expression2.
. (dot)
Used to navigate movie clip hierarchies to access nested (child)
movie clips, variables, or properties.
++ (increment)
Adds 1 to expression. The expression can be a variable, element in an
array, or property of an object. The pre-increment form of the
operator (
++expression) adds 1 to expression and returns the result as
a number. The post-increment form of the operator (
expression++)
adds 1 to
expression and returns the initial value of expression (the
value before the addition).
&& (logical AND)
Evaluates expression1 (the expression on the left side of the operator)
and returns
false if the expression evaluates to false. If expression1
evaluates to
true, expression2 (the expression on the right side of the
operator) is evaluated. If
expression2 evaluates to true, the final result
is
true; otherwise, it is false.
! (logical NOT)
Inverts the Boolean value of a variable or expression. If expression is a
variable with the absolute or converted value of
true, the value of
!
expression is false. If the expression x && y evaluates to false, the
expression
!(x && y) evaluates to true.
|| (logical OR)
Evaluates expression1 and expression2. The result is true if either or
both expressions evaluate to
true; the result is false only if both
expressions evaluate to
false. You can use the logical OR operator
with any number of operands; if any operand evaluates to
true, the
result is
true.
% (modulo)
Calculates the remainder of expression1 divided by expression2. If an
expression operand is non-numeric, the modulo operator attempts to
convert it to a number.
%= (modulo
assignment)
Assigns expression1 the value of expression1 % expression2.
*= (multiplication
assignment)
Assigns expression1 the value of expression1 * expression2 .
* (multiply)
Multiples two numeric expressions.
+ (numeric add)
Adds numeric expressions.
