Actionscript dictionary says 'eq' is deprecated. It just compares
string representations, so what you might be doing is comparing a
number to it's string representation (User input, perhaps?):
http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary198.html
What == does depends on what sort of data you're comparing. Again,
from the dictionary:
The definition of equal depends on the data type of the parameter:
Numbers and Boolean values are compared by value, and are
considered equal if they have the same value.
String expressions are equal if they have the same number of
characters and the characters are identical.
Variables, objects, arrays, and functions are compared by
reference. Two variables are equal if they refer to the same object,
array, or function. Two separate arrays are never considered equal,
even if they have the same number of elements.
Well here is a sample of what I was trying to compare...
var myLink:String = this._targetMc._DB.getItemAt(0).link01;
if (myLink == "") {
trace("it was empty");
} else {
trace("It had the result: " + myLink);
}
And I was just getting hte else returned with no myLink var shown (when
the loop had the record empty). Then I switched to:
if (myLink eq "") {
trace("it was empty");
} else {
trace("It had the result: " + myLink);
}
And it worked as expected.
That is what confused me. And I really do not want to use the "eq" as it
is depreciated.
