@Kalisto:
You're absolutely right that in strict mode the example doesn't compile. In general the content of this chapter is intended to describe "pure" ActionScript which is not as strict as strict mode, which is why I wouldn't describe it as a bug. But we could definitely make it clearer that the example (and other examples) depend on not using strict mode.

in "Strict Mode" this declaration of const:

class A
{
public const MINIMUM:int = 0;
public const MAXIMUM:int;

public function A()
{
MAXIMUM = 10;
}
}

generate error:
"1049: Illegal assignment to a variable specified as constant."
if "Strict mode" is off it's OK

i thing it is a BUG

@No nickname:
You're absolutely right. Thanks for pointing out the error.

A correct version would be these four lines of code instead:
var myObject:Object = new Object();
myObject.propA = 1;
myObject.propB = 2;
myObject.propC = 3;

var myObject:Object = new Object({propA:1, propB:2, propC:3});
will not compile
