variable declaratioin inside of preMain()

[waynecd]

Does it matter if I make var AFPArray = new Array() a local variable within preMain?

I believe it would reduce the load on the global namespace (if that is where globals are kept).

I don't want to miss something important since I have always seen it outside of preMain.

In testing some menu options I found that declaring var AFPArray = new Array() just after the function preMain() has the same effect as making it global outside of preMain as the sample efs below shows:

debugClear();
function preMain() {
    var aFPArray = new Array();
    var x=0;
    aFPArray[x] = new FunctionParameter("vSymbol", FunctionParameter.STRING);
    with(aFPArray[x++]){
        addOption("$TRIN");
        addOption("$ADD");
        addOption("$TICK");
        addOption("None");
        setDefault("$ADD");
    }
    aFPArray[x] = new FunctionParameter("Interval", FunctionParameter.STRING);
    with(aFPArray[x++]){
        setName( "Price Interval" );
        addOption("D");
        addOption("W");
        addOption("M");
        setDefault( "D" ); 
    }
}
var bInit = false;
function main(vSymbol,Interval0){
    if(!bInit){
        debugPrintln("25S: " + vSymbol + ", I: " + Interval0);
        fTest(26,vSymbol,Interval0);
        bInit = true;
    }
    if(getCurrentBarIndex() == 0){
        debugPrintln("29S:" + vSymbol + ", I: " + Interval0);
        fTest(31,vSymbol,Interval0);
    }
}
var fInit = false;
function fTest(n,fSymbol,fInterval0){
    if(!fInit){
        debugPrintln(n + ": 37S: " + fSymbol + ", I: " + fInterval0);
        fInit = true;
    }
    if(getCurrentBarIndex() == 0){
                debugPrintln(n + ": 41S:" + fSymbol + ", I: " + fInterval0);
    }
}
