A switch statement is an alternative to complex nested if .. else statements
switch(variable){
case 1:
//Statement1;
break;
case 2:
//Statement2
break;
default:
//statement3;
break;
}
The variable to be evaluated is inserted into the switch argument.
If the first variable's value is 1 then statement1 is evaluated.
A break statement is inserted after it so that the switch statement is terminated.
The default label is the condition for "everything else".
var tester:Number;
tester = random(3);
switch (tester) {
case 1 :
trace("tester = 1");
break;
case 2 :
trace("tester = 2");
break;
case 3 :
trace("tester = 3");
break;
default :
trace("Out of range");
break;
}
