Odd evaluation problem

[deekay3k]

Simple one, I'm comparing two Arrays; why does this work:
array1[0]==array2[0] && array1[1]==array2[1] && array1[2]==array2[2]and this won't?array1==array2They have both been sorted prior to testing equality. Seems like I'm doing something wrong.

array1 and array2 both contain the same elements, but they are still two distinct Array objects

Yeah, that makes sense. Which begs the question, why isn't there an Array comparison operator built into AS? Luckily I'm only comparing three values, many more and I need to create a for loop or a function to evaluate. Am I missing something?

other than "because they didn't provide one", I don't know why there isn't such an Array method. If you really, really don't want to code the comparison loop you could use the method which merges all Array elements into a String (sorry I forget its name) then compare the two strings. But you risk some false positives.
