long lines

[charlie]

I may have posted this before, but I have searched the forums, and elswhere.
Can anyone tell me a way to break up long lines of code, in VB it's possible to continue a line of code, on the next physical line with an _ (underscore).
Can you do this in flash?

You don't need anything, just put a semicolon in when you're done with a statement, for example:


a
=
6;
trace(a);

thanks for the reply, I realise that this method works, but if you then press autoformat all the code is placed on one physical line. I was hoping there was a way of breaking up the lines of code that would work even if the code was autoformatted.

it depends what your code is. Most things can be logically sperated into multiple lines. Long strings for instance can be divided in assignment.


str = "it depends what your code is. Most things can ";
str += "be logically sperated into multiple lines. Long ";
str += "strings for instance can be divided in assignment.";

as well as just about any other expression. Just a matter of structure.
