Duplicate variable definition

[dragonlau]

I am having a problem with creating new textfields.
With a simple curAttraction (it is 1 or 3 defined before) I defined the amount of textfields I need to display texts.
But with the code below, I am having a warning (ok, it will run, but i want to clean this up): Warning: 3596: Duplicate variable definition
I assigned the rows with this warning.

if (curAttraction == 1)
{
	var textField1:TextField = new TextField();
	var textField2:TextField = new TextField();
	var textField3:TextField = new TextField();
	var textField4:TextField = new TextField();
	var targetFields:Array = [textField1,textField2,textField3,textField4];
}
else if (curAttraction == 3)
{
	var textField1:TextField = new TextField(); // warning
	var textField2:TextField = new TextField(); // warning
	var textField3:TextField = new TextField(); // warning
	var textField4:TextField = new TextField(); // warning
	var textField5:TextField = new TextField();
	var textField6:TextField = new TextField();
	var textField7:TextField = new TextField();
	var textField8:TextField = new TextField();
	var textField9:TextField = new TextField();
	var textField10:TextField = new TextField();
	var targetFields:Array = [textField1,textField2,textField3,textField4,textField5,textField6,textField7,textField8,textField9,textField10]; // warning
}
var targetFieldsLength = targetFields.length;

var j:int;
for (j = 0; j < targetFieldsLength; j++)
{
	targetFields[j].defaultTextFormat = textFormat;
	targetFields[j].width = 500;
	targetFields[j].height = 500;
	targetFields[j].border = false;
	targetFields[j].wordWrap = true;
	targetFields[j].x = 70;
	targetFields[j].y = 400;
	targetFields[j].alpha = 0;
	targetFields[j].embedFonts = true;
}

if (curAttraction == 1)
{
	textField1.text = "test start\n...";
	textField2.text = "test\n...";
	textField3.text = "test\n...";
	textField4.text = "test end.";
}
else if (curAttraction == 3)
{
	textField1.text = "test start\n...";
	textField2.text = "test\n...";
	textField3.text = "test\n...";
	(..)
	textField10.text = "test end.";
}

Someone who knows the problem and how to solve?

You declare the variable only once the first time
var textField1:TextField = new TextField();
and after that you refer to it as
textField1 = new TextField();

But is that not weird?
If curAttraction == 3, I never reach to the var textField1 in the first if statement (from curAttraction == 1).
Then the first 'var textField1' isn't declared yet.

When you compile your movie the compiler reads the whole script and then throws an error.
