A bad practice most likely, but not technically wrong. I do see it in
text books from time to time.
When I was in 10th grade, I had a French teacher who marked a question
on a test wrong because the test came from the teacher's version of the
text book and her book had a different (wrong)
The question was to provide the French word for the opposite
of now. The correct answer is then but the text book said
it was after.
This is way OT, but then is not the opposite of now in English or French
any more than after is. The expression now and then is common in
English, but that
There's more than one way to skin a cat is another common expression,
but it does not mean we all go around doing it :)

Now means at the present time. Then means at any other time other
than now. They are opposite.
The phrase now and then has no bearing on the denotation of the words.
Then is the antonym of now. If you disagree, what do you think is
the opposite of now? It

Opposite denotes more of a polar difference (hot/cold, black/white, up/down)
then can refer to any point, for example 1 second ago, along a time
continuum
So you're saying Now refers to this SINGLE point in time, and Then
refers to ANY point other than Now. Definite vs indefinite.
If you put it in code the opposite of now is !now or not now, and when
is not now? Then.

What happened to that whole unsubscribing thing you mentioned? How did

You have to initialize (create) the array. Same as in AS 1.0.
myArray = new Array();
This:
public var items_arr:Array;
Doesn't create the array, it only typecasts the variable.

It's neither AS2 or AS1 centric.
Substituting [] for new Array() or {} for new Object() is universal
across many languages. Personally, I prefer the visual [] and {} to the
wordy new Array() and new Object(). It's quicker to write, and it's
easier to read.

Hi,

In AS2 typecasting helps uncover bugs at compile time, so its a good
idea to use them. Typecasting also enables class insight through popup
menus when you type a period after your variable name.
In AS3 typecasting is a much cooler as it directly affects the amount of

Sorry for the confusion. I wasn't referring to the typecasting just the
instantiation. You should still use
myArray:Array = [];
and
myObject:Object = {};

Or you can do it in the class' constructor:
class ArrayTest {
public var aryItems:Array;
public function ArrayTest ()
{
this.aryItems = new Array();
}
public function test (str:String):Void
{
this.aryItems.push (str);
trace (this.aryItems);
}
}

Hi,
talking about square brackets, dunno how relevant this would be in the post
but you could also use it to make function calls:
function foo(param1:String,param2:String):void{
trace(param1+ +param2);
}
this function can be called by using:
foo(hello,world!);
or
*this[foo](hello,world);
talking about square brackets, dunno how relevant this would be
Bracket access is a separate discussion, yes. :)
