how to solve variable has no type declaration warning in flex / as3

I came across this code snippet online that helps me solve a problem with a simple way to delay a piece of as3 code.

It runs fine and does the job, but I get a warning in flashbuilder / flex that says:

 variable 'delayTextVisible' has no type declaration.

here is the code snippet:

 var delayTextVisible = setInterval(showText,400);

     function showText():void {
      textgroup.visible = true;    // insert delayed code here
      clearInterval(delayTextVisible);    // stop setInterval repeating
     }

so my question is what type do I need to assign to the variable delayTextVisible for the warning to go away? I tried :String but that didnt work.

@bitmapdata.com's answer is correct.

However, in any case and for any variable, if you don't know its specific type, or if you need to declare the variable in a way that allows you to store many different types, you can always use the * placeholder:

var delayTextVisible:* = setInterval( showText, 400 );

var delayTextVisible:uint = setInterval(showText,400);

setInterval return type is uint. see a documentation: setInterval
