The following example uses the information in the previous example and produces the same
result using constructor functions:
var person:Object = new Object();
person.name = "Gina Vechio";
person.children = new Array();
person.children[0] = "Ruby";
person.children[1] = "Chickie";
person.children[2] = "Puppa";
The previous ActionScript example can also be written in the following format:
var person:Object = new Object();
person.name = "Gina Vechio";
person.children = new Array("Ruby", "Chickie", "Puppa");

Object
() parentheses operator
(expression1 [, expression2])
( expression1, expression2 )
function ( parameter1,..., parameterN )
Performs a grouping operation on one or more parameters, performs sequential evaluation of
expressions, or surrounds one or more parameters and passes them as parameters to a function
outside the parentheses.
Usage 1: Controls the order in which the operators execute in the expression. Parentheses
override the normal precedence order and cause the expressions within the parentheses to be
evaluated first. When parentheses are nested, the contents of the innermost parentheses are
evaluated before the contents of the outer ones.
Usage 2: Evaluates a series of expressions, separated by commas, in sequence, and returns the
result of the final expression.
Usage 3: Surrounds one or more parameters and passes them as parameters to the function
outside the parentheses.
Operands
expression1 : Object - Numbers, strings, variables, or text.
expression2 : Object - Numbers, strings, variables, or text.
function : Function - The function to be performed on the contents of the parentheses.
parameter1...parameterN : Object - A series of parameters to execute before the results
are passed as parameters to the function outside the parentheses.
