[FLASH-USERS] Newbie Question: Adding Variables

Huh, that is odd. I wasn't even aware that would break the Config functionality. Since "2" ought to be a valid real number, I suspect that this is something that ought to be fixed. But maybe there's a reason for it.

If you add anything to the Config file you need to re-setup the code in this directory first, which you can do by issuing "./resetup" within the object directory, after which you can recompile.
