RE: [flexcoders] Short-circuiting logical operators in AS3?

[Gordon Smith]

I tried || and it short-circuits for me. Please post a complete miniapp
with a case that doesn't work.

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...
