Perhaps. However, I am attempting to use PureMVC multi-core and the constants I want to use simple define my notification names. Even thought they are included only in the module code, for some reason the names are "undefined" when PureMVC attempts to register my commands when the module PureMVC initializes. I have found a work around by placing the notification constants in a common library. It isn't the best work around, but I need to make some progress.
In the Java world, I am used to getting ClassNotFound exceptions when messing with class loader and isolation issues (at least Java will blow chunks if it can't find something verses failing silently). The only equivalent I can find in AS3 is Application domain. It doesn't seem to matter if I load the module in the current domain though (Application.currentDomain). Oh well...any other thoughts? Is this situation analogous to a Java classloader isolation problem? --- In [email protected], Alex Harui <aha...@...> wrote: > > If the app references a class in a module, it defeats the whole purpose of modules.
