This section provides syntax, usage information, and code samples for global functions and properties (those elements that do not belong to an ActionScriptTM class); compiler directives; and for the constants, operators, statements, and keywords used in ActionScriptTM and defined in the ECMAScript (ECMA-262) edition 4 draft language specification.
| Language Element | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Compiler Directives | This section contains the directives to include in your ActionScript file to direct the compiler to preprocess certain instructions. | |
| Global Constants | A constant is a variable used to represent a property whose value never changes. This section describes global constants that are available to every script. | |
| Global Functions | This section contains a set of built-in functions that are available in any part of a SWF file where ActionScript is used. | |
| Global Properties | Global properties are available in every script, and are visible to every Timeline and scope in your document. | |
