One other way (there are tons of ways):

public static function isValidNumber(num:Number):Boolean {
   switch (num) {
   case 12:
   case 34:
   case 21:
   case 46:
   case 52:
       return false;
   }
   return true;
}

(Of course, this assumes the list of numbers is static.)

Even if you don't use a switch statement, it's probably still a good
idea from an OOP standpoint to encapsulate this test in a function.
