1. You can remove the braces. I always use: if (true) something(); But rarely use: if (true) something(); else somethingElse(); because it can get lost visually in code. 2. Inline conditional I use this all the time. val = (boolean) ? trueVal : falseVal; 3. Inline or conditional val = (if true) || (if not true) This one is a little different than the inline conditional. val will be set to what is left of the || if what is left of the || resolves true (i.e. not 0, undefined or null), otherwise it will be set to what's to the right of the ||. You can also use these without setting a variable. // If boolean is true, call funcA, else call funcB. (boolean) ? funcA() : funcB(); // if funcA returns false, run funcB() funcA() || funcB(); HTH, Steven _______________________________________________ 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
