I met this error several time, and it was pretty hard to fix, cause I didn’t know why this error was raised at all.

The reason was this: I used a local var name identical to some namespace name.

Let’s say you have a namespace vk, and you declare a local var vk:Object and then are trying to call some method on it. To as3 compiler vk is not a local var but a namespace, woala)) The solution is just select another name for you local var 😉 Cheers!

Use case:

//you have a number in text format and you want to convert it to number format
//and also to make sure there is no character inside
var nTemp:Number = Number(someStringWithCharactersInsideProbably);
if (isNan(nTemp))
{
//aha.. there are some characters inside
}

//and what I wanted to point out..
//This won’t work
/*
if (nTemp == NaN)
{
//aha
}
