Using the Ternary Operator in ActionScript 3.0. There's no shame in shortcuts, and when you're combing through massive amounts of code each day, every line helps!
Many programmers across a variety of languages have long enjoyed the benefits of the ternary operator, a convenient shorthand that can be used in lieu of a standard if/else statement. The ternary operator (pronounced "toy-nairy opratuh" in New York) provides an elegant method of compacting down code where a basic true/false conditional is needed. Let's taken an everyday scenario: You're at the breakfast table eating Cheerios (or Fruity Pebbles, if large amounts of sugar and food dye are your thing), and suddenly realize you have to test the value of a Boolean variable in your code to shut the visibility of a display item on or off.
A possible and typical solution to this would be as follows: AS3 Tip: Pass …rest arguments w/ other arguments to a function. That’s about as good a title as I could come up with here.
Background This code passes 14 arguments to fun1, which is completely legit. fun1 then passes all 14 arguments to fun2. The trace output would be: That’s easy, right?
