No way. Your first example traces true just because there is only one
pg_name attribute.
Consider this:
var xmlData:XML = <root>
<PAGE
pg_name='index'><DETAILS>page</DETAILS></PAGE>
<PAGE
pg_name='contact'><DETAILS>page</DETAILS></PAGE>
</root>;
trace(xmldata.pa...@pg_name.tostring() == "index"); // false because
it evaluates as indexcontract
