[osflash] Type error in Array initialization

[Chris Allen]

Barak,

That feature "generics" in ActionScript is just a handy thing that  
Nicolas added to the open source MTASC compiler. It's not an official  
part of the language. So expecting any other compiler, particularly  
Adobe's to understand that entry in the array should be a Number is  
simply not going to work.

I hope that helps.
