[Laszlo-dev] why does the compiler give an error if I ask for the nodeType of a data node in as3

[Donald Anderson]

I think the problem is that 'LzDataNodeMixin' as a type becomes an  
interface,
and interfaces can have no data members.  When LzDataNodeMixin is  
mixed into
a class, you get the data elements, but none of them can be seen  
externally
(through the interface).
