Comparison operators

Comparison operators compare the values of expressions and return a Boolean value (true or false). These operators are most commonly used in loops and in conditional statements. In the following example, if the variable score is 100, a certain movie loads; otherwise, a different movie loads:

if (score > 100){
	loadMovieNum("winner.swf", 5);
} else {
	loadMovieNum("loser.swf", 5);
}

The following table lists the ActionScript comparison operators:

Operator	Operation performed
<	Less than
>	Greater than
<=	Less than or equal
>=	Greater than or equal
