[Laszlo-dev] For Review: Change 20071217-ptw-6 Summary: Class support for swf9

[Donald Anderson]

Approved.
It compiles with SWF9 compiler, modulo the 'const' statement
(known compiler deficiency).

Question, with this comment:
   public static function initialize (prototype:Object):void {
     // @devnote: Subclasses must have this as their first line:
     // prototype.constructor.initialize.call(this, prototype);
   }

This is a problem mentioned before - a static function cannot
reference 'this'.  Did we have a workaround for that?
I mentioned using 'prototype.constructor' instead of 'this' - would  
that work?

Another question - supposing I know the 'magic' to auto-insert into
the initialize method - can I blindly insert one (i.e. safe to call  
it twice?)
