This is off the top of my head in email so there may be some errors
but something like this should work
var category:Number;
switch (true){
case(age > 18):
category = 0;
break;
case(age > 15):
category = 6;
break;
case(age > 12):
category = 5;
break;
case(age > 8):
category = 4;
break;
case(age > 5):
category = 3;
break;
case(age > 2):
category = 2;
break;
default:
category = 1;
}
return category;

Can someone rewrite this as a switch/case? I tried, but it didn't seem
to work. Problem I am running into is the multiple conditions in the
case. Thanks!
private function getAgeGroup(birthday:Date):int {
var age:int = getAge(birthday);
if (age >= 0 && age >3){ //Birth to 2
return 1;
}else if (age >=3 && age >6){ //3 to 5
return 2;
}else if (age >=6 && age >9){ //6 to 8
return 3;
}else if (age >=9 && age >13){ //9 to 12
return 4;
}else if (age >=13 && age >16){ //13 to 15
return 5;
}else if (age >=16 && age >19){ //16 to 18
return 6;
}else { //Older or Adults
return 0;
}
}
