How do you do a range using switch statement in ActionScript

For example:

score = txtScore.text  
switch(score)  
{  
case 90 to 100: // how do you set the range?  
txtScore.text = “A”;  
break;  
}

Thanks

you dont. All case comparisons are done through a strict equality (i.e. === ). You might just have to use if/else.

It can be done. You have to be a little creative though. Here’s some code for something like that.

on(release)  
{  
intNew = (parseInt(txtScore.text) / 10)

```
switch(parseInt(intNew))
{
	case 10:	txtGrade.text = "A";
		break;
	case 9:	txtGrade.text = "A";
		break;
	case 8:	txtGrade.text = "B";
		break;
	case 7:	txtGrade.text = "C";
		break;
	case 6:	txtGrade.text = "D";
		break;
	default:	txtGrade.text = "F";
}

```

}
