Braces let you build a code block containing multiple statements. If you want to run multiple statements in the body of a loop, or conditional, or whatever, or if you think you may want to do that in the future, you should use braces. Some people prefer to always use them, because they prefer the appearance or because they don't know that they're sometimes optional. I'm in the first category, myself - I always use them, because I think it makes my code easier to read. In general, I prefer my code to be formatted vertically rather than horizontally, if you know what I mean. This is how braces work in all C-style languages I've seen, including JavaScript 1.0+. I suspect it works the same way in AS2. It definitely works that way in AS3.
