Checking Multiple Similar Or's in an if statement. [AS2]

[ChristopherDavis]

Hello, I know this is probably a very obvious question, but I'm new to flash.

Can I do something like,

if (jellyfish == 3, 74, 95, || 1006) {

//Do Stuff

}

Or would I have to do:

if (jellyfish == 3 || jellyfish == 74 || jellyfish == 95 || jellyfish == 1006) {

//Do Stuff

}

Let me know if there is something closer to the first one, or if I'm going to have to have pages within one if statement.

Thanks,

Christopher

you must do the latter, but if it's worthwhile you can use a for-loop:

var a:Array=[3,74,95,1006];

for(var i:Number=0;i<a.length;i++){

if(jellyfish==a){

//do stuff

break;

}

}

Thank you so much!
This is exactly what I needed!

You were missing a parenthisis, but besides for that, it works beautifully and looks a lot more visually appealing!

[kglad]

you're welcome.

(and i corrected that paranthesis in case someone else copies that code.)

The second is the correct way to specify multiple conditions

I know it is correct, but I was wondering if there was a simpler way.

Thanks for the help, though.
