Deprecated since Flash Player 5. This operator has been deprecated. Adobe recommends that
you use the != (inequality) operator.
Tests for the exact opposite of the equality (==) operator. If expression1 is equal to
expression2, the result is false. As with the equality (==)operator, the definition of equal
depends on the data types being compared:
■ Numbers, strings, and Boolean values are compared by value.
■ Objects, arrays, and functions are compared by reference.
■ Variables are compared by value or by reference depending on their type.
Operands
expression1 : Object - A number, string, Boolean value, variable, object, array,
or function.
expression2 : Object - A number, string, Boolean value, variable, object, array,
or function.
Returns
Boolean - The Boolean result of the comparison.
