The source for the frustration was AS2 was implemented in a frame-script based landscape. So, using class only formats for _root timelines didn't mesh.
You can't do private var cow:String; on _root, so when many of us went: cow:String = "moo"; Many of us thought that was a bug. In reality, it's shoe-horning good coding practices & features into a timeline. In short, a subtle message of "stop coding on frames." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ian Thomas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Flashcoders mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 31, 2005 12:11 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Strict Datatyping Question Matt, See all the previous mails. It's not a bug, so won't have been fixed. It's the way that the language is supposed to work.
