expression2 : Number - A number.
Returns
Number - The result of the bitwise operation.
Example
The following is an example of a bitwise OR (|) operation:
// 15 decimal = 1111 binary
var x:Number = 15;
// 9 decimal = 1001 binary
var y:Number = 9;
// 1111 | 1001 = 1111
trace(x | y); // returns 15 decimal (1111 binary)
Don't confuse the single | (bitwise OR) with || (logical OR).

expression1 |= expression2
Assigns expression1 the value of expression1 | expression2. For example, the following
two statements are equivalent:
x |= y; and x = x | y;
Operands
expression1 : Number - A number or variable.
expression2 : Number - A number or variable.
Returns
Number - The result of the bitwise operation.
Example
The following example uses the bitwise OR assignment (|=) operator:
// 15 decimal = 1111 binary
var x:Number = 15;
// 9 decimal = 1001 binary
