Autocomplete and strong typing are two different things.

var currentElement as EA.Element;
Doesn't make your currentElement strong typed. It only enables the autocomplete in the code editor.
(at least for VBScript. I'm not 100% sure that applies to Javascript as well)

Thank you Geert, I'll rather not start a strongly vs weakly type thread here.

From your reply, I am concluding that you are confirming that without
Code: [Select]
var currentElement as EA.Element;the code editor will not be able to auto-complete. Is that correct?

Yes, that's what I meant.
