That sounds totally counter to my experience, Danny. Something else must be
going on. What's the error you're getting if you omit the 'var'?

For, well, pretty much ever, I've worked on the assumption that in this
structure:

function myFunc(tVar:String) {
}

the variable tVar was automatically defined in local scope: that is, I can
write

function myFunc(tVar:String) {
if (tVar == undefined) { tVar = "limpet" }
}

But you know what? That's not true! I've just discovered (and bear in
mind,
I've been using that code structure for years) that I have to declare the
variable:

function myFunc(tVar:String) {
if (tVar == undefined) {var tVar:String = "limpet" }
}

That seems really weird to me. Am I wrong? Is there some other
explanation?
