" " (string delimiter)

Availability

Flash Player 4.

Usage

"text"

Parameters

text

A sequence of zero or more characters.

Returns

Nothing.

Description

String delimiter; when used before and after characters, quotation marks ("") indicate that the

characters have a literal value and are considered a string, not a variable, numerical value, or other

ActionScript element.

Example

The following example uses quotation marks ("") to indicate that the value of the variable

yourGuess is the literal string "Prince Edward Island" and not the name of a variable. The

value of

province is a variable, not a literal; to determine the value of province, the value of

yourGuess must be located.

var yourGuess:String = "Prince Edward Island";

submit_btn.onRelease = function() {

trace(yourGuess);

};

// displays Prince Edward Island in the Output panel
