Well, it depends how the comparisons work. When you check equivalence
"==" it is checking whether the two Date instances are the same object,
which of course they aren't. When you check greater than or less than,
it can only check their value, and that is the same.
So it comes down to how the Date class handles comparisons. I'm honestly
not sure how you overwrite these in Actionscript (I guess there must be
something in Object that you can overwrite). But checking equivalence
with complex variables will always be checking if they are actually
references to the same object, not if the two objects have the same
attributes.
Oh, and Ryan, is your fourth line meant to be
trace( d1 = d2 );
or
trace( d1 == d2 );
?

trace( d1 == d2 ); // false
trace( d1 <= d2 ); // true

Umm… If something is both >= *and* <= the only possibly is that it is
equal. So… WTF?
