Constants

A list of all of the custom design-time constants in the current build configuration.

Design-time constants are similar to variables, but instead of being converted to values at run time, design-time constants get converted at build time. We call them design-time constants because the names you give them only exist at design time. At build time, the name of each design-time constant is replaced by the value that was assigned to it.

Note: Design-time constants can be in any format you like. One recognizable format is the variable name in capitals surround by "#" characters. For example, #MYVAR#. However if you plan to use these design-time constants in action script, the names may be caught by the automatic syntax checker if certain characters are used that are part of the Lua language (such as "#"). In this case, it is best to use an alternate format such as _MYVAR.

Tip: There are also a number of built-in design-time constants that are available.

Add

Add a new design-time constant to the current build configuration.
