action

Hello I've started to learning AS3 from one book and found something I don't understand.

Ellipse(_board[row][column]).fill = getFill(row, column);

_board is two dimensional array of Ellipse type, so I just dont understand why is Ellipse(Ellipse object) used when it apparently works without it, or I haven't seen any changes when I omitted it.
