[AS2/3] Duplicate variable definition in for-loop?

[SaphuA]

Hi there,

I'm currently learning AS3 (and 2 aswell I guess). Now i'm having a little 'problem' with duplicated variables.

I'm having a function with two for-loops:

code:

---

for(var i:int=0; i<10; i++) {

	var m:Boolean = false;

}



for(var i:int=0; i<10; i++) {

	var m:Boolean = false;

}

---

Why do i get the warning of duplicated variables? I always thought that both variables 'i' and 'm' would get removed at the end of the loop. Doesn't this happen anymore since AS2/3 ?

Thanks,
~Sph

No, they don't get removed if declared in a loop, its when they are declared in a function.

(Eg, at the end of the function all local variables declared are erased)
