String constructor

Creates a new String object.

Note: Because string literals use less overhead than String objects and are generally easier to use, you should use string literals instead of the constructor for the String class unless you have a good reason to use a String object rather than a string literal.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 5

Parameters

value:String - The initial value of the new String object.
