FLASH: Any logical explanation for Literal vs. Expression in "Set Variable"?

[Phillip Kerman]

I have a good understanding of the difference between Literal and

Expression.


However, there's one issue that really bugs me:

Why must you "set variable" with:

"myVariable" = 12


(where the variable is left as a literal and the value is an expression)


The way I see it:

myVariable=12

should work!  (both expressions)


I can live with the way it works... I'm just curious if anyone has a decent

explanation that people generally understand.
