Availability

Flash Player 4. This function was deprecated in Flash 5; Macromedia recommends you use the

add (

+) operator when creating content for Flash Player 5 or later.

Usage

string1 add string2

Parameters

string1, string2

A string.

Returns

Nothing.

Description

Operator; concatenates two or more strings. The add (+) operator replaces the Flash 4 & operator;

Flash Player 4 files that use the

& operator are automatically converted to use the add (+) operator

for string concatenation when brought into the Flash 5 or later authoring environment. Use the

add (+) operator to concatenate strings if you are creating content for Flash Player 4 or earlier

versions of the Player.
