Operands
expression1 : Number - A number or variable.
expression2 : Number - A number or variable.

Number - The result of the bitwise operation.
Example
The following example uses the bitwise OR assignment (
|=) operator:
// 15 decimal = 1111 binary
var x:Number = 15;
// 9 decimal = 1001 binary
var y:Number = 9;
// 1111 |= 1001 = 1111
trace(x |= y); // returns 15 decimal (1111 binary)
