I don't think, because braces are not required when the there is only one statement ended with semicolor: //code if(something) doSomething(); // semicolon ends the scope here... //code ... the second brace was ending the myLeftHand() method. I think that that the problem with this line was that

Karl, That is perfectly valid for AS2, for example: for(var k in myArray) trace("val: " + myArray[k]); ...works both AS2 and AS3. Even a combo... if(someBoolean) for(var k in myArray) myClass(myArray[k]).doSomething(); Just one line and the semicolon ";" (required). Man can save a pair of br

Yes, your correct. I always use braces. It looks aesthetically pleasing to me and helps me separate things. BTW, what is the point of braces if you dont need them, except the separation of your code part. Are they needed in some situations over others? Karl On Dec 8, 2009, at 5:25 PM, Greg
