Let $f,g$ be any morphisms in $\text{Hom}(A,X)$. We want to show that, if $X^X$, $f=g$. We do this by showing that the projection maps $π_1, π_2: X×X → X$ are equal: $π_1, π_2 \in \text{Hom}(X×X,X) = \text{Hom}(X,X^X) = \text{Hom}(X,1) \sim 1$. Hence $f = π_1 \circ (f × g) = π_2 \circ (f×g) = g$. $\blacksquare$
