MACROMEDIA FLASH 8-ACTIONSCRIPT 2.0 LANGUAGE - Default Statement

200 ActionScript language elements
default statement
default: statements
Defines the default case for a switch statement. The statements execute if the expression
parameter of the
switch statement doesn't equal (using the strict equality [===] operation)
any of the
expression parameters that follow the case keywords for a given switch
statement.
A
switch is not required to have a default case statement. A default case statement does
not have to be last in the list. If you use a
default statement outside a switch statement, it
produces an error and the script doesn't compile.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6
Parameters
statements:String - Any statements.
Example
In the following example, the expression A does not equal the expressions B or D, so the
statement following the
default keyword is run and the trace() statement is sent to the
Output panel.
var dayOfWeek:Number = new Date().getDay();
switch (dayOfWeek) {
case 1 :
trace("Monday");
break;
case 2 :
trace("Tuesday");
break;
case 3 :
trace("Wednesday");
break;
case 4 :
trace("Thursday");
break;
case 5 :
trace("Friday");
break;
default :
trace("Weekend");
}
