This happens even if I copy the code from the <a href="http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Book_Parts&file=03_Language_and_Syntax_160_13.html" rel="nofollow">Flex 2.01 docs</a> (see under "Constants").

The problem with initializing it in the variable declaration is that I'd like to use a constructor parameter for the value -- it's not a static class constant, it's just an instance variable that should only be set once, at construction time. “Illegal assignment.” The problem with initializing it in the variable declaration is that I’d like to use a constructor parameter for the value — it’s not a static class constant, it’s just an instance variable that should only be set once, at construction time.

(I'm coming from Java and I guess I'm expecting const to act like final, which may be a mistake. But I like immutable objects.) The Flex 2.01 spec says yes, but when I try it in FlexBuilder I get a compilation error.
