How AsMX deals with data

Hi all,

I would really thank if someone explained us a bit how actionscript mx deals with data. I mean, when it makes hardcopies of objects and when it only passes references to it. For example:

var xml = new XML();
var xml1 = xml;

Now, xml1 is a reference to xml or another xml object?
If I do :

var xml = new XML();
var xml1 = new XML();
xml1=xml;

Now xml1 is a hardcopy of xml? I hope so.
Finally, when saying:

var arr = new Array();
arr.push(xml) //Or wahtever

How does it fill the array? with references to or with objects?

Thanks a lot.

its easier to think of = as 'gets' and == as 'equals' .

so xml1 gets the value of xml in the first code, xml1 is only a copy of xml if you do =, and it will only 'copy' xml at that instant, so if you change xml after that, xml1 will not be updated unless its a looped clause.

...So basically, i think its right.
