Q: 

In ActionScript, what character does "\t" represent?

In ActionScript, what character does "\t" represent? I can see it in some ActionScript And was wondering what character it really was.

+3  A: 

It's a "tab space". \n and \r are other special characters that, in AS, represent new line characters (drops text down to next line, as if you were pressing the "enter" key in a text editor).
