Re: [Flashcoders] const inside function

[Jiri]

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

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 ; ilist.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 ; ilist.length ; i++){
buffer += list[i] + my_var
}
}
