Boolean

A Boolean value is one that is either true or false. ActionScript also converts the values true and false to 1 and 0 when appropriate. Boolean values are most often used with logical operators in ActionScript statements that make comparisons to control the flow of a script. For example, in the following script, the movie plays if the variable password is true:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
	if (userName == true && password == true){
		play();
	}
}
