To those of you using modules in Royale, we have just noticed that the minifier is starting to create more collisions than it used to. It could be that some compiler change or new APIs are adding more renamed properties to the apps, but it is something to avoid by using longer id names in your modules.
The minifier takes some property and gives it a short name, so that "getRowCount" gets some name like "za". As your app contains more and more properties, the short names go from single characters like "a" to two characters "aa", and then to three characters and so on. This list of short names is passed to the compiler for a module so that the compiler will not re-use those names when minifying the module, otherwise module properties could overwrite the apps property of the same minified name. However, if your module already contains a short name for an id, the compiler will produce an error. So if your module contains a TextInput with id="ti" and the minification of the main app results in a minified name of "ti", you will get a compiler error. So best to use longer id names (id="myTI") which will take a lot of properties in the app to generate a minified name that collides with "myTI". HTH, -Alex
