Did AS1 have closures? I was under the impression that it didn't, which makes it a very different language from JavaScript, even if the syntax looks similar.

Saying they are "very different" because of closures is hyperbolic, but at any rate, yes, AS1 had closures like JS.

Can you provide a syntax example? I couldn't find any documentation/sample code of AS1 closures.
