Usage

    "text"

Parameters

`text` A character.

Returns

Nothing.

Description

String delimiter; when used before and after characters, quotes indicate that the characters have a literal value and are considered a string—not a variable, numerical value, or other ActionScript element.

Example

This example uses quotes to indicate that the value of the variable `yourGuess` is the literal string "Prince Edward Island" and not the name of a variable. The value of `province` is a variable, not a literal; to determine the value of `province`, the value of `yourGuess` must be located.

    yourGuess = "Prince Edward Island";
    on(release){
    	province = yourGuess
    	trace(province);
    }

    // displays Prince Edward Island in the Output window
