| = (assignment) — Operator |
| Assigns the value of expression2 (the parameter on the right) to the variable, array element, or property in expression1. |
| & (bitwise AND) — Operator |
| Converts expression1 and expression2 to 32-bit unsigned integers, and performs a Boolean AND operation on each bit of the integer parameters. |
| &= (bitwise AND assignment) — Operator |
| Assigns expression1 the value of expression1 & expression2. |
| << (bitwise left shift) — Operator |
| Converts expression1 and expression2 to 32-bit integers, and shifts all the bits in expression1 to the left by the number of places specified by the integer resulting from the conversion of expression2. |
| <<= (bitwise left shift and assignment) — Operator |
| This operator performs a bitwise left shift (<<=) operation and stores the contents as a result in expression1. |
| ~ (bitwise NOT) — Operator |
| Also known as the one's complement operator or the bitwise complement operator. |
| | (bitwise OR) — Operator |
| Converts expression1 and expression2 to 32-bit unsigned integers, and returns a 1 in each bit position where the corresponding bits of either expression1 or expression2 are 1. |
| |= (bitwise OR assignment) — Operator |
| Assigns expression1 the value of expression1 | expression2. |
| >> (bitwise right shift) — Operator |
| Converts expression1 and expression2 to 32-bit integers, and shifts all the bits in expression1 to the right by the number of places specified by the integer that results from the conversion of expression2. |
| >>= (bitwise right shift and assignment) — Operator |
| This operator performs a bitwise right-shift operation and stores the contents as a result in expression1. |
| >>> (bitwise unsigned right shift) — Operator |
| The same as the bitwise right shift (>> ) operator except that it does not preserve the sign of the original expression because the bits on the left are always filled with 0. Floating-point numbers are converted to integers by discarding any digits after the decimal point. |
| >>>= (bitwise unsigned right shift and assignment) — Operator |
| Performs an unsigned bitwise right-shift operation and stores the contents as a result in expression1. |
| ^ (bitwise XOR) — Operator |
| 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) — Operator |
| Assigns expression1 the value of expression1 ^ expression2. |
| /*..*/ (block comment delimiter) — Operator |
| Indicates one or more lines of script comments. |
| , (comma) — Operator |
| Evaluates expression1 , then expression2 , and so on. |
| ?: (conditional) — Operator |
| Instructs Flash to evaluate expression1 , and if the value of expression1 is true , it returns the value of expression2 ; otherwise it returns the value of expression3. |
| -- (decrement) — Operator |
| A pre-decrement and post-decrement unary operator that subtracts 1 from the expression. |
| / (division) — Operator |
| Divides expression1 by expression2. |
| /= (division assignment) — Operator |
| Assigns expression1 the value of expression1 / expression2. |
| . (dot) — Operator |
| Used to navigate movie clip hierarchies to access nested (child) movie clips, variables, or properties. |
| == (equality) — Operator |
| Tests two expressions for equality. |
| > (greater than) — Operator |
| Compares two expressions and determines whether expression1 is greater than expression2; if it is, the operator returns true. |
| >= (greater than or equal to) — Operator |
| Compares two expressions and determines whether expression1 is greater than or equal to expression2 (true) or expression1 is less than expression2 (false). |
| ++ (increment) — Operator |
| A pre-increment and post-increment unary operator that adds 1 to expression . |
| != (inequality) — Operator |
| Tests for the exact opposite of the equality (== ) operator. |
| <> (inequality) — Operator |
| Deprecated since Flash Player 5 — This operator has been deprecated. Macromedia recommends that you use the != (inequality) operator.
|
| < (less than) — Operator |
| Compares two expressions and determines whether expression1 is less than expression2 ; if so, the operator returns true. |
| <= (less than or equal to) — Operator |
| Compares two expressions and determines whether expression1 is less than or equal to expression2 ; if it is, the operator returns true. |
| // (line comment delimiter) — Operator |
| Indicates the beginning of a script comment. |
| && (logical AND) — Operator |
| Performs a Boolean operation on the values of both expressions. |
| ! (logical NOT) — Operator |
| Inverts the Boolean value of a variable or expression. |
| || (logical OR) — Operator |
| Evaluates expression1 (the expression on the left side of the operator) and returns true if the expression evaluates to true. |
| % (modulo) — Operator |
| Calculates the remainder of expression1 divided by expression2. |
| %= (modulo assignment) — Operator |
| Assigns expression1 the value of expression1 % expression2. |
| * (multiplication) — Operator |
| Multiplies two numerical expressions. |
| *= (multiplication assignment) — Operator |
| Assigns expression1 the value of expression1 * expression2. |
| {} (object initializer) — Operator |
| Creates a new object and initializes it with the specified name and value property pairs. |
| () (parentheses) — Operator |
| Performs a grouping operation on one or more parameters, performs sequential evaluation of expressions, or surrounds one or more parameters and passes them as parameters to a function outside the parentheses. |
| === (strict equality) — Operator |
| Tests two expressions for equality; the strict equality (=== )operator performs in the same way as the equality (== ) operator, except that data types are not converted. |
| !== (strict inequality) — Operator |
| Tests for the exact opposite of the strict equality ( === ) |
| " (string delimiter) — Operator |
| 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. |
| - (subtraction) — Operator |
| Used for negating or subtracting. |
| -= (subtraction assignment) — Operator |
| Assigns expression1 the value of expression1 - expression2. |
| : (type) — Operator |
| Used for strict data typing; this operator specifies the variable type, function return type, or function parameter type. |
