{ 
 //obj can be an object, dictionary, vector, array.
 //probably anything that can be accessed using bracket notation.
 var obj:Array = [1, 2];
 var dex:int = 0;

 //if you access an object,vector,array,or dictionary using a nested incrimentor operator

How do you fix it?
The problem is caused by using a continue statement after accessing an object using a nested increment operator on a variable.
Change the code inside the loop to:

dex++;
obj[dex] = 0;
continue;

OR:

obj[dex] = 0;
dex++;
continue;


Whichever one has the logic you are going for.
