; } else if (condition
){statement(s)
; }

An expression that evaluates to true
or false

Description
Action; evaluates a condition and specifies the statements to run if the condition in the initial if
statement returns false
. If the else if
condition returns true
, the Flash interpreter runs the statements that follow the condition inside curly brackets ({}
). If the else if
condition is false
, Flash skips the statements inside the curly brackets and runs the statements following the curly brackets. Use the else
if
action to create branching logic in your scripts.
Example
The following example uses else if
actions to check whether each side of an object is within a specific boundary:
// if the object goes off bounds, // send it back and reverse its travel speed if (this._x>rightBound) { this._x = rightBound; xInc = -xInc; } else if (this._x<leftBound) { this._x = leftBound; xInc = -xInc; } else if (this._y>bottomBound) { this._y = bottomBound; yInc = -yInc; } else if (this._y<topBound) { this._y = topBound; yInc = -yInc; }
