RE: [flexcoders] Duplicate variable definition

[Gordon Smith]

ActionScript doesn't have (and has never had) block-scoped variables. When you declare a local variable anywhere in a method, it is as if you had declared it at the top, and it is accessible anywhere in the method. Therefore having two declarations is redundant. The new warning is trying to make people aware of this (probably unexpected) behavior. In your case of two for-loops, the coding standards we use in the framework classes would do it like this:   var i:int;   for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {     ... }   for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {     ... }   - Gordon   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dirk Eismann Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2006 2:46 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Duplicate variable definition   yes.   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jonas Windey Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2006 11:29 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Duplicate variable definition Hi,   In flex 2 b3, it was allowed to do this:   rivate function fcnTest():void { for (var i:Number=0;i< 10;i++){             //do sthing                                             } for (var i:Number=0;i< 10;i++){             //do something more                                          } }   In 2.0 final, I get Duplicate variable definition.   Should I only declare it once before every loop?   Jonas __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!
