Global array1:Short[] = [1,2,3] Global array2:Byte[] = [1,2,3] Compiler error: "Unable convert 'int array' to 'short/byte array'" |

| put :byte and :short behind them. what you have there are int arrays. |
| ||
| Please post a working sample(if it's really exist) this is not big source. BTW Global array1:Short[] = Short[1,2,3] 'or Global array1:Short[] = [1,2,3]:Short- not right. And direct typecasting for each element is so weird. |
| ||
| Oh, Dreamora, you right, but this is direct typecasting. I use it other form as 'Byte(...)/short(...)' for each element. But this is not a good idea - i needs a huge array and write type for each element is very very bad. |
| ||
Both is wrong, seems like you haven't used direct type declaration on numerics so:global array1:short[]= [1:short, 2:short, 3:short] |
| ||
| I understand you, but direct typecasting for each element is not a good idea if we have a huge array. BTW this is a bit stupid - declare array as short and declare type individually to each element of array. May be this songs as 'feature request', but i think this is compiler bug or miss. |

| Initializing an array that way is a bad idea anyway. It is slow, 3-10 times slower than global array1:short[] = new short[3] array1[0] = 1 array1[1] = 2 array1[2] = 3 and the problem gets larger the larger the array is you assign. You know, arrays in a managed environment are a little a different thing than in C++, where they are just a continous block of memory that you can create with memalloc and its done. (in BM an array of any types are extended of the class ARRAY actually) |

| This is by design. |
