Hi Hans, while I cannot say it's bad, it's difficult t say there's nothin nad about it. to quote an javaworld article:
"It turns out that using an interface to declare constants may not be the best practice after all. In fact, using interfaces in this way may be downright nasty. Why? Interfaces should only be used to define types; any other use is an abuse. Using an interface causes internal details -- such as constants -- to leak into the class' public API. Once something becomes part of the public API, you can never get rid of it." so, in above case it could be wrong.. -m -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Hans Wichman Sent: Mon 7/3/2006 7:04 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 - why no properties in interfaces?
