Returns
The string “true” if the primitive value of booleanObject is true; “false” if the primitive
value of
booleanObject is false. The value of the Boolean object is specified when the

equivalent.
Description
The toString() method retrieves the primitive value of a Boolean object, converts that value
to a string, and returns the resulting string.
Example
x = new Boolean(true);
trace(x.toString()); // Displays: "true"

Example
x = new Boolean(0); ...
