" " (string delimiter)

Availability

Flash Player 4.

Usage

"text"

Parameters

text A character.

Returns

Nothing.

Description

String delimiter; when used before and after characters, quotation marks indicate that the characters have a literal value and are considered a string—not a variable, numerical value, or other ActionScript element.

Example

This example uses quotation marks to indicate that the value of the variable yourGuess is the literal string "Prince Edward Island" and not the name of a variable. The value of province is a variable, not a literal; to determine the value of province, the value of yourGuess must be located.

yourGuess = "Prince Edward Island";
on(release){
  province = yourGuess;
  trace(province);
}

// displays Prince Edward Island in the Output panel
