I’m hoping someone can help me out, here.
I’ve written an AS1 class, so that it can be uses prior to the class export frame (it’s used in the preloading process). I thought, hey, why don’t I try using an AS2 intrinsic class to get compile-time checking? I got that working halfway…
The instance properties are checked. But the static ones are not. This appears to have to do with the fact that when I say Foo.nonexistent_prop, it’s looking at Foo, my AS1 class, and not _global.Foo, the imported AS2 intrinsic class (it’s not really there, but that’s where it would be if it were a regular AS2 class).
I’ve trying creating Foo as my AS1 class then setting _global.Foo = Foo, I’ve tried Object.registerClass(“Foo”, Foo), and endless variations on different ideas.
My current workaround is to use
Foo.__resolve = function(name:String) {
trace("Oops, " + name + " does not exist.");
}
Which gives me runtime checking, but I’ve got a lot of static “constants” defined in this class and it would be great to have full-on AS2-style compiler checking.
Any ideas? Thanks…
