When comparing primitive datatypes, ActionScript compares them by value.

 

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

        var quantity:Number = 6;
        var total:Number = 6;
        trace (quantity == total);         // Displays: true

    }
  }
}
