Introduction to Variables
Author: Eddie Carroll | Website: http://www.flashkit.com |

The Variable Value

The value assigned to a variable can be any of the following types: a number; a boolean; a string; an object; a movie clip or nothing (undefined). You can also assign a variable the value in another variable or expression but these will always evaluate to one of the base types. Let's have a look at some examples:

Number - Any number. eg 12, -1, 34534.
myvariable = 12;

Boolean - True or False.
myvariable = True;

String - Any number or letter presented in Quote marks. eg "hello" or "12".
myvariable = "12 Chifley St";

Movie Clip/Object - Any clip or object can be held in a variable, see the interactive demo below... (if you don't understand don't worry, functions and parameters will be discussed more in-depth later in this series)
