Flash Lite 1.0.
Usage
expression1 lt expression2
Operands
expression1, expression2 Numbers, strings, or variables.
Description
Operator (comparison); compares the string representation of expression1 to the string
representation of
expression2 and returns a true value if expression1 is less than
expression2; otherwise, it returns a false value. Strings are compared using alphabetical
order; digits precede all letters, and all capital letters precede lowercase letters.
Example
The following examples show the output of various string comparisons. In the last line, notice
that
lt does not return an error when you compare a string to an integer because ActionScript
1.0 syntax tries to convert the integer data type to a string and returns
false.
animals = "cats";
breeds = 7;
trace ("persons" lt "people");// output: 0(false)
trace ("cats" lt "cattle");// output: 1(true)
trace (animals lt "cats");// output: 0(false)
trace (animals lt "Cats");// output: 0(false)
trace (breeds lt "5");// output: 0(false)
trace (breeds lt 7);// output: 0(false)
