Flash Tutorial: Introductions to Variables, Data Types, and Strict Data Typing In ActionScript
May 16, 2008 | Author: Noah Omamalin | Filed under: Action Scripts, Basics
The starting point in learning ActionScript or any other programming language is to learn how to use variables. Variables are data containers, you need these to be able to refer to whatever data you want to produce, manipulate or save in ActionScript. This tutorial will explain what variables are, it will teach you how to create and edit variables and will describe the different data types in ActionScript. Finally, we will explore Strict Data Typing, a feature introduced in Flash MX 2004.
Variables are named data containers, each of which can hold a single piece of information. We might want to store the user’s name in our variable, or in a game situation, use our variable to save the player’s score. Once we create a variable, we can recall the data stored inside it as many times as we wish. In addition, we can edit this data, update it, and at some situations, we might even be required to delete the variable completely.
