[flexcoders] public static var issue

[Chris Velevitch]

I have a class with public static vars like:-

        [Bindable]
        public class MyModel {
                public static var message:String = 'initially empty';
        }

and I use as a tag like:-

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; xmlns="*">

        <MyModel id="myModel" />
        
        <mx:Text id="test" text="{myModel.message}" width="100%"/>

</mx:Application>


But the compiler gives me an error on myModel.message:-

        1119: Access of possibly undefined property message through a
reference with static type MyModel.

Why is this? Should I report it as a bug?
