In my version of flash (MX 2004) the following code does not work:

code:


// BROKEN!!

x,y = 5;

trace(x);

trace(y);


If you do the above, y will be equal to 5, but x will be undefined. This implies that the example shown above, also using a comma, will also not work.

The following does work, however:

code:


x = y = 5;

trace(x);

trace(y);


As does this:

code:


x = 5;

y = 5;

trace(x);

trace(y);


Personally, I would go with that last method - it's clearest. However, if you really want to save typing a few characters, at the expense of a little readability, by all means try this:

code:


on (release) {

        if (h1._visible ==  true && h2._visible == true) {

                h1._visible = h2._visible = false;

        } else {

                h1._visible = h2._visible = true;

        }

}
