Where is that syntax error on line 2?

Ok, so in the following actionscript 3.0 code there is a syntax error on line 2, but i don't know what that is. I'm a beginner so could someone please help me on this? 

var numberToCast:Number;

on the following line there is a syntax error, says the compiler, and i haven't a clue what that is

for (numberToCast = –1; numberToCast<2; numberToCast++){ 

trace("Boolean(" + numberToCast +") is " + Boolean(numberToCast)); 

}

The problem is with your - (numberToCast = –1;), it's not actually the minus symbol. Probably a symptom of copying and pasting (out of Microsoft Office maybe? Word is bad for replacing the minus with a dash)

And as per my comment, you will need to define (var) numberToCast (either prior to the loop or in the loop declaration) or you'll get a different error after fixing the minus.
