FLASH: RE:random variable typing

This is exactly what led me to conclude that it was some kind of typing. 


If the syntax is in fact:


"varName" = "stringInfo"

 

or


varName = 1


then it would seem to me to be some sort of typing.  I have put a number into a

variable declared as per the first example above, but it's only a boolean, and

I haven't tested it in a future numeric expression, so I don't know if it's

been interpreted as a string or not. (and I don't have time to check it out

now).  


Anyone from Macromedia able to give a definitive answer on this?  Why are

variable names quoted when defined, even though the variable itself is an

expression?
