Wait, stack protection?

Well. That explains a lot of bugs.

Flash hasn't heard of this concept of "local variables". You know, using i for a loop index, then calling another function that also uses i for a loop index, and having those be two different variables? Flash isn't into that kind of thing.

Hell, even Matlab knows that one.

ETA: Found how to specify locality. It's a stupid way.

Ack! That's not okay! There are so many ways in which that is so not okay!

PHP, from what I understand, is even worse about variable scope.
