comment Any characters.

Description

Comment delimiter; indicates one or more lines of script comments. Any characters that appear between the opening comment tag (/*) and the closing comment tag (*/) are interpreted as a comment and ignored by the ActionScript interpreter.

Use the // (comment delimiter) to identify single-line comments. Use the /* comment delimiter to identify comments on multiple successive lines. Leaving off the closing tag (*/) when using this form of comment delimiter returns an error message. Attempting to nest comments also returns an error message.

After you use an opening comment tag (/*), the first closing comment tag (*/) will end the comment, regardless of the number of opening comment tags (/*) placed between them.
