Why as3 giving me syntax error in a for loop?

Question

I'm new with actionscript and I keep getting syntax error with the following for loop:

for each (target:Target in targets) {
  if(target != null) {
    target.parent.removeChild(target);
  }
}

And I got this error message:

Syntax error: expecting in before colon.

What is the problem?

You forgot to declare the variable, it should be:

for each (var target:Target in targets) {
    // …
}

Note the var.
