inequality, <>, comparsion, deprecated

Availability

Flash 2.

Usage

expression1 <> expression2

Parameters

expression1,expression2 A number, string, Boolean value, variable, object, array, or function.

Returns

Nothing.

Description

Operator (inequality); tests for the exact opposite of the == operator. If expression1 is equal to expression2, the result is false. As with the == operator, the definition of equal depends on the data types being compared:

	Numbers, strings, and Boolean values are compared by value.
	Variables, objects, arrays, and functions are compared by reference.

This operator has been deprecated in Flash 5, and users are encouraged to use the != operator.
