1.1 Hello world

The following sections show various ways to implement simple programs such as the familiar 'hello, world' program in ActionScript 3.0:

trace("hello, world");

This is a single expression statement that calls a function named trace() with the argument that is a literal string "hello, world". An expression statement does nothing but execute an expression.
