Leaving off type annotations is legal AS3, but it isn't recommended for serious apps. Without them the compiler can't help you find a lot of programming mistakes, and your app will run slower because all properties and methods have to be looked up in hash tables on dynamic Objects. - Gordon -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of JesterXL Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 9:16 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: Start Project with Flex 1.5 or Flex 2.0 // this won't fly var s = "some text"; // this is good! var s:String = "some text"; You do the below for all variables that can be typecast/datatyped, you'll save a LOT of time. ----- Original Message ----- From: "jwc_wensan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 12:06 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Start Project with Flex 1.5 or Flex 2.0 Jester: Well, there is a deadline, but we do have SOME, not much, "wiggle room". It was our initial opinion to proceed with Flex 1.5, but I wanted to get other thoughts on the matter. I am not exactly sure what you mean when you say "type cast". Can you elaborate?
