Description

The POSITIVE_INFINITY property stores a special numeric value used to represent values greater than Number.MAX_VALUE (the largest number representable in ActionScript). This is known as an overflow condition and is usually caused by some sort of mathematical error.

Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY is normally used in its more convenient global property form, Infinity.

Example

if (score == Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY) {
  trace ("You've achieved the highest possible score.");
}
