Surprisingly, the second one doesn't compile. It failed with the error: "Error: Comparison between a value with static type XMLList and a possibly unrelated type String." But if it did compile, I would expect it to produce the same result. And just to make sure, I was able to compile and run this: ... var s:* = "null" trace(xmlList == s); and the output was the same as when comparing xmlList to null.
