*= multiplication assignment operator
expression1 *= expression2
Assigns expression1 the value of expression1 * expression2. For example, the
following two expressions are equivalent:
x *= y x = x * y
Operands
expression1 : Number - A number or expression that evaluates to a number.
expression2 : Number - A number or expression that evaluates to a number.
Returns
Number - The value of expression1 * expression2 . If an expression cannot be converted
to a numeric value, it returns NaN (not a number).
Example
Usage 1: The following example assigns the value 50 to the variable x:
var x:Number = 5;
var y:Number = 10;
trace(x *= y); // output: 50
Usage 2: The second and third lines of the following example calculate the expressions on the
right side of the equal sign and assign the results to x and y:
var i:Number = 5;
var x:Number = 4 - 6;
var y:Number = i + 2;
trace(x *= y); // output: -14

new operator
new constructor()
Creates a new, initially anonymous, object and calls the function identified by the
constructor parameter. The new operator passes to the function any optional parameters in
parentheses, as well as the newly created object, which is referenced using the keyword this.
The constructor function can then use this to set the variables of the object.
