Saw this recently in code and was surprised that it worked but it's pretty cool.
a = "foo"; b = "bar"; c = a || b; trace(c); -- foo a = 0; // or a = ""; // or a = false; // or a = null; // or a is undefined b = "bar"; c = a || b; trace(c); -- bar It will return b if a is an empty string, false, null, 0 or undefined. Interesting shortcut. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
