Description
Statement; appears within a loop (for, for..in, do while or while) or within a block of
statements associated with a particular case within a
switch action. The break action instructs
Flash to skip the rest of the loop body, stop the looping action, and execute the statement
following the loop statement. When using the
break action, the Flash interpreter skips the rest of
the statements in that
case block and jumps to the first statement following the enclosing switch
action. Use the
break action to break out of a series of nested loops.
Example
The following example uses the break action to exit an otherwise infinite loop.
i = 0;
while (true) {
if (i >= 100) {
break;
}
i++;
}
