used for logical operations. Use the Boolean
class to retrieve the primitive data type or string representation of a Boolean object.
To create a Boolean object, you can use the constructor or the global function, or assign a literal value. It doesn't matter which technique you use; in ActionScript 3.0, all three techniques are equivalent. (This is different from JavaScript, where a Boolean object is distinct from the Boolean primitive type.)
The following lines of code are equivalent:
var flag:Boolean = true; var flag:Boolean = new Boolean(true); var flag:Boolean = Boolean(true);
Method | Defined By | ||
---|---|---|---|
Creates a Boolean object with the specified value. | Boolean | ||
Indicates whether an object has a specified property defined. | Object | ||
Indicates whether an instance of the Object class is in the prototype chain of the object specified
as the parameter. | Object | ||
Indicates whether the specified property exists and is enumerable. | Object | ||
Sets the availability of a dynamic property for loop operations. | Object | ||
Returns the string representation of this object, formatted according to locale-specific conventions. | Object | ||
Returns the string representation ("true" or
"false") of the Boolean object. | Boolean | ||
Returns true if the value of the specified Boolean
object is true; false otherwise. | Boolean |
Boolean | () | Constructor |
public function Boolean(expression:Object = false)
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.0 |
Creates a Boolean object with the specified value. If you omit the expression
parameter, the Boolean object is initialized with a value of false
. If you
specify a value for the expression
parameter, the method evaluates it and returns the result
as a Boolean value according to the rules in the global Boolean()
function.
expression:Object (default = false ) — Any expression.

Example ( How to use this example )
false
called myBoolean
:
var myBoolean:Boolean = new Boolean();
toString | () | method |
AS3 function toString():String
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.0 |
Returns the string representation ("true"
or
"false"
) of the Boolean object. The output is not localized, and is "true"
or
"false"
regardless of the system language.
String — The string "true" or "false" .

Example ( How to use this example )
toString()
method
to convert the value to a string for use in an array of strings:
var myStringArray:Array = new Array("yes", "could be"); var myBool:Boolean = 0; myBool.toString(); myStringArray.push(myBool); trace(myStringArray); // yes,could be,false
valueOf | () | method |
AS3 function valueOf():Boolean
Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.0 |
Returns true
if the value of the specified Boolean
object is true; false
otherwise.
Boolean — A Boolean value.

:
var myBool:Boolean = new Boolean(); trace(myBool.valueOf()); // false myBool = (6==3+3); trace(myBool.valueOf()); // true
