functions must be instance methods


  Hi!

  I am going over the examples in Flex 3 Cookbook and the one that allows 
connecting to user's microphone (page 243) has a compilation error. What's the 
best way to fix that?

  <VBox>
  <mx:Script>
  <![CDATA[
     import flash.media.Microphone;


     public var mic:Microphone; // <-- error: constructor functions must be 
instance methods.



  Does anyone know what's wrong?


Yes, you can't just dump a script with a variable declaration into the middle 
of a VBox.

You can add that kind of declaration into a function (but not in the middle of 
a VBox), or in a 'proper' actionscript 3 class.
