When you compare composite datatypes, ActionScript compares them by reference.

 

package{
  import flash.display.Sprite;
  
  public class Main extends Sprite{
    public function Main(){

        var arrayOne:Array = new Array("a", "b", "c");
        var arrayTwo:Array = new Array("a", "b", "c");
        trace(arrayOne == arrayTwo);          // Displays: false

    }
  }
}
