Getting Out of a Button Press Routine

[stocktonlad]

I've got an on press routine with serveral "IF" statements.

Is there a way of exiting a routine once a condition has been met.

I do a lot of VB and I would use EXIT SUB, is there an AS equivalent.

Many Thanks

break

A break; will only break you out of a loop or a switch, not an if.

If you are in a loop with ifs inside it then you may be able to use break; to get out of the loop, and if that is the end of your method then you would be fine.

To exit immediately from anywhere in a function though, just use return; or return someValue;.

what about else if

if(a == 5)
{

}
else if (a == 6)
{

}

i think a switch might be more appropriate

Thanks. You're right, "break" didn't work right.

I have now used "switch" which is doing the job great.

Cheers

Invoking a Switch statement to exit an IF condition?? Use RETURN.


if (myArray[0] == 1)
{
trace("Hello World");
return;
}


Return statement
The return statement stops execution and returns to the calling function. When a return statement is executed, the function is terminated immediately at that point, regardless of whether it's in the middle of a loop, etc.

i think you missed the point.

i think you missed the point.

How so?

I don't see a hidden 'point'.

switch(myVar)
{
case 1:
//asdasd
break;
case 2:
//asdasd
break;

}

cleaner syntax and easier to change in the long run.
