whats the difference between saying
var box:Object;
and
box = new Object();
i know var box:Object; passes syntax but will trace undefined I just don't understand why it is there as an option.
and what is the difference between using
var box = new Object();
and
box = new Object();
ok that makes sense. but what about my 2nd question?
what is the difference between using
var box = new Object();
and
box = new Object();
When you use
var myObject:Object;
you declare a local variable in the codeblock, where you place the declaration. Only when you use the var-statement, you can use strict typing.
A variable you have already declared cannot be declared again as a local variable.

how do local varibles work in flash? are they local to that scene?
and how is it declared if you do not use var?
var myNumber:Numer = 5;
is the same as
myNumber = 5;
The first one is just strict data typing.
They are both local to that code block. If you want a variable that is accessable anywhere on that frame, declare it like this:
_root.myNumer = 5;
And in the whole timeline:
_global.myNumber = 5;
Dont use scenes when using actionscript.
