[osflash] Type error in Array initialization

[Chris Allen]

Barak,

Perhaps then you were using one of the hacked version of MTASC on one  
of the computers. I would also check the versions on those computers  
to make sure they are the same. Other than that I have no idea. Sorry!  
I haven't used AS2 or MTASC in over a year. It's all been AS3 work  
lately.

Best of luck!
