A/MMC does not warn before using this:

is this a statement or what ? and if so, what does it do, all i could see is
undefined / null / not there


fun to find this one in a ~10000 lines project.



So...technically that is legal, though I don't know why anyone would do that.

First of all, you can put a constant on a line by itself, and it just
does nothing:

3; // this is legal in AS
myObj.blah[3] // this is also legal

Secondly, there is the syntax ([expr1],[expr2],...,[exprN]), which
will execute all the expressions, and return the result of exprN.
so:
 (1,2,3)

is the same as:

function blah()
{
   1; // legal, as per above.
   2;
   return 3;
}
blah();


Finally, your statement combines the two principles:
    o.arguments[1,2,3];
is the same as :
    o.arguments[ (1,2,3) ];

compiles to:

1;
2;
o.arguments[3];

which are 3 legal commands, but they don't do anything.

Hope this helps your understanding a bit. But I agree, MMC should
definately have a 'strict compile' mode that warns when you do weird
things like that. AS3 probably would complain (maybe not though?)

thanks  for your time, but that doesn't answer my q's. i had:

o.arguments  [1, 2, 3];
with whitespace in there, where there should be a '=' so why doesn't MMC complpain about that ? i this a legal statement ? i know 'o.arguments[1, 2, 3];'
or equivalent would be, but i didn't write that.
