What is so different about using const inside a function? Seems to me they are just saying this value will not change after declaration. They are simply saying this is not a variable, it will not be altered. This technique is often used for some special marker or value. I really don't see the relevance of whether it's inside an adobe function or class, or anyone else's function or class. > No part of my question is covered by that help topic. I think it's all covered by that topic. What else is it that you are asking?
