Returns a copy of the String object, with all lowercase characters converted to uppercase. The
original value is unchanged.
Returns
String - A string.
Example
The following example creates a string with all lowercase characters and then creates a copy of
that string using toUpperCase():
var lowerCase:String = "lorem ipsum dolor";
var upperCase:String = lowerCase.toUpperCase();
trace("lowerCase: " + lowerCase); // output: lowerCase: lorem ipsum dolor
trace("upperCase: " + upperCase); // output: upperCase: LOREM IPSUM DOLOR
An example is also in the Strings.fla file in the ActionScript samples folder at
www.adobe.com/go/learn_fl_samples. Download and decompress the .zip file and navigate to
the folder for your version of ActionScript to access the sample.

public valueOf() : String
Returns the string.
Returns
String - The value of the string.
Example
The following example creates a new instance of the String object and then shows that the
valueOf method returns a reference to the primitive value, rather than an instance of the
object.
var str:String = new String("Hello World");
var value:String = str.valueOf();
trace(str instanceof String); // true
trace(value instanceof String); // false
trace(str === value); // false
