Flash / Flex / ActionScript/String/String concatenation

ActionScript supports the addition (+) operator for text concatenation.

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
       var greeting:String = "Hello, my name is . This is way easier!";
       trace(greeting); 
   }
 }

}

       </source>
   
  

Add strings together

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
       var example:String = "A.";
       example += " B ";
       example += "C.";
       
       trace(example);

   }
 }

}

       </source>
   
  

Append text to existing strings by using the concatenation assignment += operator:

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
       var attendance:int = 24;
       var example:String = "There are ";
       example += attendance;
       
       example += " people";
       
       trace(example);
   }
 }

}

       </source>
   
  

Concatenate string by adding integers with string

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
       var first:int = 24;
       var second:int = 42;
       
       var result:String = "" + first + second;
       trace(result);
   }
 }

}

       </source>
   
  

Joining Strings

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
       var sTitle:String = new String("ActionScript Bible");
       trace(sTitle.concat(" rocks!"));  // Displays: ActionScript Bible rocks!
       trace(sTitle.valueOf());  // Displays: ActionScript Bible
   }
 }

}

       </source>
   
  

Joining Strings with "+"

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
      var example:String = "This" + "works";
      var attendance:int = 24;
      var output:String = "There are " + attendance + " people";
      
      trace(output);
   }
 }

}

       </source>
   
  

Use concat method to concatenate two strings

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
       var sTitle:String = new String("ActionScript Bible");
       sTitle = new String(sTitle.concat(" rocks!"));
       trace(sTitle.valueOf());  // Displays: ActionScript Bible rocks!
   }
 }

}

       </source>
   
  

Use plus operator when defining the string variable

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
       var example:String = "A. "
           + "B"
           + " C.";
   }
 }

}
