lt (string <)

SWiSH Player Support
SWF4 or later - Supported Internally

Syntax
a lt b

Description
This is old version of less than syntax. Although recognized this should be replaced with < syntax.

Similar to < , however it ensures that string comparison is always used, even if either value is a number.

Sample
a = "hi";
b = "there";
trace(a < b);
    // For SWF4, returns 0 (false) as both a and b are  converted to numeric  and equate to equal (both 0) .
trace(a le b);    // returns 1 (true) as "hi" is before "there", which is the expected result.
