DETERMINING CONDITIONS

Your project may well contain numerous conditions you can take advantage of in your scripting to control the way it works or interacts with the user. Although a condition can take many forms, at its core, it represents a circumstance that is either true or false . The following are some of the common conditions that conditional statements look for:

• If one object comes in contact with another object

• If something is on or off

• If a movie clip's position, size, or any other property is greater than, less than, or equal to another value.

• If the user has a specific interaction with the mouse or keyboard

• If text or numeric values are greater than, less than, or equal to another value

• Any combination of the above
