```auto

var run:Boolean;
var jump:Boolean;

if (run && jump){
    //
}

```

is flash smart enough to flag the if statement as false based on the first parameter?

or will it still process both booleans, even though it is known the\* if statement\* must return false based on the “run” Boolean alone.

just wondering if its a waste of processing, although trivial at this level.
