If you're referring to line 10 of the first script, it's because mc isn't a variable. It's an argument so it is valid while inside the function and does not require a declaration. It's easy to miss, but if you need a brush up on this, take a look at Chapter 2 in the book in the section called Functions. Good luck! @thon, good question.

Question: Why is the variable scaleDest declared simply
mc.scaleDest = 1;

Why in this case is var scaleDest:Number = 1; not used?
