Yeah, it definitely works for &&, I depend on it all the time. Not sure if I've specifically tried it with || though...

I'm fairly new to AS3 coming from a javascript background. I noticed that I get an error when running the if statement below because "dataProvider[i].data" doesn't exist. if ( true || val == dataProvider[i].data) { selectedIndex = i; return; } In javascript the double OR operator (||) "short-circuits" such that it wouldn't evaluate the second part of the term in the if expression after finding the first term true. This doesn't seem to be the case with AS3. Does AS3 support short circuiting logical operator? Is there another way to get short-circuiting statements in AS3? (I know I could rewrite the If statement as a two nested ifs...) anything I'm missing as a newcomer? This is not a big deal of course, just curious...
