Overriding Variables

 
objects defined in more localized scopes will always override objects defined in more global scopes.

package{
  import flash.display.Sprite;
  
  public class Main extends Sprite{
    public function Main(){
        var myLocal:Local = new Local();
        trace(myLocal.a); // Displays: instance
        trace(myLocal.b); // Displays: instance
        
        myLocal.method(); // Displays: function
        
    }
  }
}
class Local {
      public var a:String = "instance";
      public var b:String = "instance";

      public function method():void {
         var a:String = "function";
         b = "function";
         trace(a);
         trace(b);
      }
}
