Hi all geeks,  
one fundamental question of class instantiation.

Say if I have class a as follows  
[AS]  
class a  
{  
public var prop1;  
function func1():void  
{  
}  
}  
[/AS]

now when i instantiate this class by  
var myClassA=new a();  
var myClassB=new a();  
does the memory load the function func1 also in the memory for each new instantiation or it maintains only one copy of that function in the memory.

in C++ and Java, only single copy of the method is maintained in the memory. so on call to that method by any of the object of class a only one copy of that method will be called. Each object won’t carry it’s own copy of function.

How is it in ActionScript?:hair:
