Hello!

Sometimes I see coders putting a “;” after the “}”.

WHY?

Is there a special thing going on there?

Like this loader code in red:

total = \_root.getBytesTotal();  
mcLoad.onEnterFrame = function() {  
loaded = \_root.getBytesLoaded();  
percent = int(loaded/total\*100);  
mcLoad.txtLoading.text = percent+"%";  
mcLoad.txtLoading2.text = percent+"%";  
mcLoad.gotoAndStop(percent);  
if (loaded == total) {  
gotoAndPlay(2);  
delete this.onEnterFrame;  
}  
[COLOR=Red] **};** [/COLOR]

[COLOR=Black]Why do they do that?[/COLOR]
