Re: [Flashcoders] const inside function

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 ; ihttp://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
