Hi Rich, could you provide some sample code of your Settings class and your

properties are strongly typed to various types...string, number, boolean,

In AS2 there is a compile-time type-checking only, the Flash VM itself
doesn't care about type settings. If the type of an expression cannot
be determined during the compilation, then type-checking is simply
omitted. In your code it applies to the settings[tagName] reference,

You don't have compiler errors because you're assigning values to your
singleton by using the square brackets [ ] method. By doing this, at compile
