var statement

var variableName [= value1][...,variableNameN[=valueN]]
Used to declare local variables. If you declare variables inside a function, the variables are local.
They are defined for the function and expire at the end of the function call. More specifically,
a variable defined using
demarcated by curly braces ({}).
If you declare variables outside a function, the variables are available througout the timeline
containing the statement.
You cannot declare a variable scoped to another object as a local variable.
my_array.length = 25; // ok
var my_array.length = 25; // syntax error
When you use , you can strictly type the variable.
var
You can declare multiple variables in one statement, separating the declarations with commas
(although this syntax may reduce clarity in your code):
var first:String = "Bart", middle:String = "J.", last:String = "Bartleby";
You must also use
scripts. Class files also support public, private, and static variable scopes.
