As I get into more advanced ActionScript, I start wondering about ways I can write things more quickly. For example, this code
ActionScript Code:
[FONT=Courier New][LEFT]button1.[COLOR=#0000FF]onRelease[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000]function[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#808080]//something[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]
button2.[COLOR=#0000FF]onRelease[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000]function[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#808080]//something[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]
[/LEFT]
[/FONT]

could be written as
ActionScript Code:
[FONT=Courier New][LEFT]button1.[COLOR=#0000FF]onRelease[/COLOR] = button2.[COLOR=#0000FF]onRelease[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000]function[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#808080]//something[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]
[/LEFT]
[/FONT]

I wasn’t aware of this until very recently, even though it may be obvious to those of you who have more experience, and it would be helpful to learn more things like this. If anybody has things to add, I would be very interested! :slight_smile: Links to websites and other threads regarding this matter would be helpful as well.
