[Flashcoders] const inside function

[Jiri]

I have a simple question. I came across some code in a project that 
defines a const in a function.

function doSomething():void{
        const my_var:String = "my_var"
        
        var buffer:String = '';
        for(var i:int = 0 ; i<list.length ; i++){
                buffer += list[i] + my_var
        }
}

What is the difference compared to this:

function doSomething():void{
        var my_var:String = "my_var"
        var buffer:String = '';

        for(var i:int = 0 ; i<list.length ; i++){
                buffer += list[i] + my_var
        }
}

Regards,

Jiri
