Identifier Parameter
ActionStep Reference » Programming » Identifier » Identifier Parameter
The ActionStep Define Parameter creates a new parameter. The chosen parameter name must be unique and it can consist of any character (numbers, letters and special characters). It may also contain spaces that increase its readability. Parameters are defined in the Local Context, so they are valid only within the ActionScript.
