Try it in a small test case and post the whole test case if you still have a problem.

So I have this piece of code: private function foo(value:XMLList):void{ trace("foo"); if (value == null || value.length() == 0) // a comment line here // another comment here var a:Object = new Object(); var b:Object = new Object(); var a:Object = new Object(); .... } compiler issues a warning that a is defined twice, however, when I debug this code, debugger skips the very first line of code after the comment lines leaving a uninitialized. Had I not inited a the second time, I'll get a runtime null pointer exception. Have anyone run into anything similar? My guess is that somewhere some cache doesn't get deleted/updated, however, I tried "Clean", tried removing some cache files, tried deleting and creating the project.
