Usage
" text "
Operands
text
Zero or more characters.
Description
String delimiter; when used before and after a sequence of zero or more characters, quotation
marks indicate that the characters have a literal value and are considered a
string ; they are not
a variable, numeric value, or other ActionScript element.
Example
This 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.
yourGuess = "Prince Edward Island";
on(release){
province = yourGuess;
trace(province);// output: Prince Edward Island
}
