The compiler isn't that smart. Did you ever call getQualifiedClassName() on the internal class to see what its name might be? Could be decorated some way, but then I think you should have gotten an exception.

I would have thought that getDefinitionByName("pkg.Class2") would throw an exception, but it's just returning null. Perhaps that's the behaviour for "found but hidden", or it might be just special behaviour on behalf of SM or because it's frame1... -Josh On Mon, Sep 1, 2008 at 3:59 PM, Alex Harui <[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: Interesting, what name did you use for the look up?

The answer for anybody following this however, is that getDefinitionByName() returns null, and you NPE inside SystemManager :) -Josh On Mon, Sep 1, 2008 at 3:28 PM, Alex Harui <[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: In case you were hoping I had the answer, I don't. Should be a 10 minute experiment though. However, an internal class can certainly be handed the SM by the first [mixin] that uses it From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com<mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com<mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com>] On Behalf Of Josh McDonald Sent: Sunday, August 31, 2008 5:43 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com<mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> Subject: [flexcoders] Quick question about Mixins and internal class scope Hey guys, I'm miles from compiling and testing what I'm writing at the moment, so I thought I'd just ask in case somebody knows- will getDefinitionByName("foo") fail on an "internal" class when SystemManager is trying to call init() on the mixins? I have a class I'd like to make internal, but it needs to be a mixin as well in order to get a reference to SystemManager ASAP. Cheers, -Josh -- "Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls.
