Ok, thanks. Yes that makes sense. I was thinking that it might be a
slight enhancement to speed up execution time of a function.

The difference is that the reference is constant, meaning you cannot change
it.
You can't do this:
const my_var:String = "my_var";
my_var = "other text";
You could do this if it were declared as a var.

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
