break statement to exit an otherwise infinite loop:

while (true) {
trace(i);
if (i >= 10) {
break; // this will terminate/exit the loop
}
i++;
}
which traces the following output:

for statement
case statement
case expression : statement(s)
Defines a condition for the switch statement. If the expression parameter equals the
expression parameter of the switch statement using strict equality (===), then Flash Player
will execute statements in the
statement(s) parameter until it encounters a break statement
or the end of the
switch statement.
If you use the
case statement outside a switch statement, it produces an error and the script
doesn't compile.
Note: You should always end the
statement(s) parameter with a break statement. If you
omit the
break statement from the statement(s) parameter, it continues executing with
the next
case statement instead of exiting the switch statement.
