>>>You can't change the type of a variable during an assignment Yes you can.
var my_win:MovieClip; my_win = MyCustomForm(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, MyCustomForm, false)); ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ian Thomas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Flashcoders mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 31, 2005 4:28 AM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Strict Datatyping Question Jester, that's not a bug. The two statements ' var <something>' and '<something>=' are totally different things. 'var <whatever>' is a declaration. Which you can tack a handy assignment on to the end of ( = something), because it's always good to initialise your variables when you declare them. But the main purpose of the statement is to declare the variable. 'myVar = <whatever>' is different - it's an assignment of a new value to a variable which has already been declared. You can't change the type of a variable during an assignment, so putting ':<something>' after the variable name is meaningless.
