else statement
if (
condition
){
statement(s)
; } else {
statement(s)
; }
Specifies the statements to run if the condition in the
if
statement returns
false
. The curly
braces (
{}
) used to enclose the block of statements to be executed by the
else
statement are
not necessary if only one statement will execute.

Parameters
condition
:
Boolean
- An expression that evaluates to
true
or
false
.
Example
In the following example, the
else
condition is used to check whether the
age_txt
variable is
greater than or less than 18:
if (age_txt.text>=18) { trace("welcome, user"); } else { trace("sorry,
junior"); userObject.minor = true; userObject.accessAllowed = false; }
In the following example, curly braces
({})
are not necessary because only one statement
follows the
else
statement:
if (age_txt.text>18) { trace("welcome, user"); } else trace("sorry,
junior");

else if statement

; }
else if (
condition
){
statement(s)
;}
Evaluates a condition and specifies the statements to run if the condition in the initial
if
statement returns
false
. If the
else if
condition returns
true
, the Flash interpreter runs
the statements that follow the condition inside curly braces (
{}
). If the
else if
condition is
false
, Flash skips the statements inside the curly braces and runs the statements following
the curly braces.
Use the
elseif
statement to create branching logic in your scripts. If there are multiple
branches, you should consider using a
switch
statement.
