Hi all,
One for the detectives in y'all:
Background
----------
I have an object, that I ought to fetch via a singleton and save as a
local variable or member of my classes, but sometimes forget to declare.
Thus sometimes I reference a member or a variable of a class, that
hasn't been defined.
The compiler doesn't complain about this certain variable, which is
quite annyoing as I thus doesn't know, that it is undefined.
Proof
-----
I have very easily boiled it down to:
class Test {
function Test() {
trace("prof is "+profile);
}
}
No compiler-error. Change profile to any other (non-existing) variable
and the compiler throws an error.
And of course, the trace is undefined - profile isn't a member, but why
does the compiler handle this member-name in some special way? It looks
like some nasty hack made by some developer, who forgot to remove it :)
I do hope, that you are all able to reproduce. It have confirmed it at
multiple computers using Win XP Pro and Flash 8.
Question
--------
My question is as simple as: What is profile?
