RE: Trying to run a function on a class that is not instantiated

[spiros]

It is possible with static getter and seter.

Maybe will help you the code below 

Spiros.

public class Variable
        {
                
                private static var _textData:String;

                public static function get textData():String
                {
                        if( _textData ==null)
                        {
                                initailizeVariable();
                        }
                        return _textData;
                }

                public static function set textData(value:String):void
                {
                        _textData = value;
                }
                
                public static function initailizeVariable():void
                {
                        _textData = "The quick brown fox jump over the lazy 
dog.";
                }
                
                
                public function Variable()
                {
                }
        }

Subject: Trying to run a function on a class that is not instantiated

Hi,

I need to run a function when I access a public static var in a class.
Trying to run the function in the constructor seems not to work since
there's no instance of that class. Do we have some way to do this?
