[Laszlo-dev] Is there a way to make this work in both swf8 and swf9 ?

[André Bargull]

This pattern is used for the service classes: first declaration, then 
the definition. Works there for swf8 and swf9.

<script when="immediate" ><![CDATA[
    public class LzQName {
      static var XSD_STRING;
      LzQName.XSD_STRING = new LzQName("string", 
LzNamespace.URI_DEFAULT_SCHEMA_XSD);
      function LzQName(type:String, uri:String) {
      }
    }
  ]]></script>
