Thanks for the suggestion. Would that work for method access? For
example:
package some.package
{
public class SomeClass
{
public method someMethod()
{
var foo:SomeHelperClass = new SomeHelperClass();
}
}
}
class SomeHelperClass
{
}
Right now, someMethod is generated as:
some.package.SomeClass.prototype.someMethod = function()
{
}
Would it have to go within the outer function? That might be a lot of
compiler work.
