^ (bitwise XOR)
Converts expression1 and expression2 to 32-bit
unsigned integers, and returns a 1 in each bit position
where the corresponding bits in expression1 or
expression2 , but not both, are 1.
^= (bitwise XOR assignment) Assigns expression1 the value of expression1 ^
expression2.
/* (block comment delimiter) Indicates one or more lines of script comments.
, (comma) Evaluates expression1 , then expression2 , and so

add (concatenation (strings)) Deprecated since Flash Player 5. Macromedia
recommends you use the addition (+) operator when

expression3.
-- (decrement) A pre-decrement and post-decrement unary operator
that subtracts 1 from the expression.
/ (division) Divides expression1 by expression2.
/= (division assignment) Assigns expression1 the value of expression1 /

. (dot) Used to navigate movie clip hierarchies to access

== (equality) Tests two expressions for equality.
eq (equality (strings)) Deprecated since Flash Player 5. This operator was
deprecated in favor of the == (equality) operator.
Returns true if the string representation of
