&= ( bitwise AND assignment)

Assigns expression1 the value of expression1& expression2.

<< ( bitwise left shift)

Converts expression1 and expression2 to 32-bit integers, and shifts all the bits in expression1 to the left by the number of places specified by the integer resulting from the conversion of expression2.

~ ( bitwise NOT)

Also known as the one's complement operator or the bitwise complement operator.

== ( equality)

Tests two expressions for equality.

eq ( equality (strings))

Deprecated since Flash Player 5. This operator was deprecated in favor of the == (equality) operator.

Returns true if the string representation of expression1 is equal to the string representation of expression2, false otherwise.

> ( greater than)

Compares two expressions and determines whether expression1 is greater than expression2; if it is, the operator returns true.

gt ( greater than (strings))

Deprecated since Flash Player 5. This operator was deprecated in favor of the > (greater than) operator.

Compares the string representation of expression1 with the string representation of expression2 and returns true if expression1 is greater than expression2, false otherwise.

>= ( greater than or equal to)

Compares two expressions and determines whether expression1 is greater than or equal to expression2 (true) or expression1 is less than expression2 (false).

ge ( greater than or equal to (strings))

Deprecated since Flash Player 5. This operator was deprecated in favor of the >= (greater than or equal to) operator.

Returns true if expression1 is greater than or equal to expression2, false otherwise.

++ ( increment)

A pre-increment and post-increment unary operator that adds 1 to expression .

!= ( inequality)

Tests for the exact opposite of the equality (== ) operator.

<> ( inequality)

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.

instanceof

Tests whether object is an instance of classConstructor or a subclass of classConstructor.

< ( less than)

Compares two expressions and determines whether expression1 is less than expression2 ; if so, the operator returns true.

lt ( less than (strings))

Returns true if expression1 is less than expression2, false otherwise.

<= ( less than or equal to)

Compares two expressions and determines whether expression1 is less than or equal to expression2 ; if it is, the operator returns true.

le ( less than or equal to (strings))

Deprecated since Flash Player 5. This operator was deprecated in Flash 5 in favor of the <= (less than or equal to) operator.
