Description

Operator (comparison); compares two expressions and determines whether expression1 is greater than expression2 ; if it is, the operator returns true. If expression1 is less than or equal to expression2, the operator returns false. String expressions are evaluated using alphabetical order; all capital letters come before lowercase letters.

In Flash 5 or later, the less than or equal to (<=) operator is a comparison operator capable of handling various data types. In Flash 4, <= is a numeric operator. Flash 4 files brought into the Flash 5 or later authoring environment undergo a conversion process to maintain data type integrity.
