I'm not sure about other languages, but in AS2, you can only initialize primitive types, like objects, arrays, strings and numbers. Except it isn't good practice, these values become part of the class prototype. In AS2 arrays and objects pass by refrence, so any modified variable in a class prototype will be the same in other class instances.
That only covers the important aspects, there is more to it for sure. Best, M. On 3/21/06, Patrick Jean <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yes it works !!
