If you're trying to compare one object to... the "same object", you can use the strict equality operator (===) http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary044.html
"Variables, objects, arrays, and functions are compared by reference. Two variables are equal if they refer to the same object, array, or function. Two separate arrays are never considered equal, even if they have the same number of elements."
