[Laszlo-dev] code for component "style" class probably will not work in swf9

[Henry Minsky]

Would this code be equivalent?

    <method name="extend" args="args">
        var temp = new lz.style();
        for (var p in args) {
            temp[p] = args[p];
        }
        new LzDelegate(temp, '_forwardstylechanged', this, 'onstylechanged');
        return temp;
    </method>

If I do that, the example runs without error in swf9
