public class Boolean
extends Object

The Boolean class is a wrapper object with the same functionality as the standard JavaScript Boolean object. Use the Boolean class to retrieve the primitive data type or string representation of a Boolean object.

You must use the constructor new Boolean() to create a Boolean object before calling its methods.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Lite 2.0 - (became a native object in Flash Player 6, which improved performance significantly)
