  In addition, var will save you if you for some reason use a predefined piece of actionscript syntax as a variable name.

  i.e.

  loadMovie = something

  this will cause an error because actionscript thinks your calling a loadMovie action.

  var loadMovie will work because you have specified that your using the name as a variable.

  I do not advise using actionscript syntax as variable names though (it becomes quite confusing). But its always good practice to put var in front of a variable when declaring it.
