[Laszlo-dev] ERROR: Attempt to instantiate <foo>, which has not been defined

[P T Withington]

The private internal protocol for translating an LZX class to a JS  
class has changed (to accomodate the new runtimes).  Your test case is  
out of date.

Is there some compelling reason that you are not just writing your  
class as a class?  That would avoid a lot of trouble.
