Flash MX if statement syntax

In Java (where bla1 & bla2 are boolean):

if (bla1 == true && bla2 == false) {
}

How would you do that in flash? Most of it is the same I think, I just don't know about the "&&" part.

i dont know abt flash MX but the last time i coded with actionscript was with flash 5, and if they havent changed the precedence rules then you will have to enforce it with parentheses, like so:

if ((bla1 == true) && (bla2 == false)) {
}

btw, your java code isn't optimal...if bla1 and bla2 are boolean, you might just as well drop the == part to get:

if (bla1 && bla2) {
}

i dunno if actionscript has a boolean data type or not

I haven't coded java in a couple of years but, i think ur mistaken, the correct syntax should have a not operator to flip bla2 to true

code:
if (bla1 && ! bla2){
}

oh yeah, you're right - i forgot that he wanted bla2 to be false...the code i showed is right if you want both bla1 and bla2 to be true...
