Pop two values, compare them for equality and put the Boolean result back on the stack.

The != is created by adding a Logical Not after the Equal action.

The way the values are converted is not clearly documented. The fact is that this operation generally transforms the strings into integers or floating points which is not ECMA Script compliant.

This action should only be used in SWF version 4.
