Contents of the dictionary
All dictionary entries are listed alphabetically. However, some operators are symbols, and are presented in ASCII order. In addition, methods that are associated with an object are listed along with the object's namefor example, the abs
method of the Math object is listed as Math.abs
.
The following two tables will help you locate these elements. The first table lists the symbolic operators in the order in which they occur in the dictionary. The second table lists all other ActionScript elements.
Note: For precedence and associativity of operators, see Appendix A.
