RE: [flexcoders] declaring constants in an interface

[Matt Chotin]

I think the language folks decided that constants just won’t be in interfaces.  Use a class with static consts instead.  I’m not sure that the Java folks these days ended up feeling like constants in interfaces was so grand anyway.   Matt   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Johannes Nel Sent: Friday, February 10, 2006 12:14 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] declaring constants in an interface   no access identifiers in interfaces give an error and then its the const that is the main error On 2/10/06, Manish Jethani < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On 2/10/06, Johannes Nel < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >     public interface IStream  extends IEventDispatcher{ >         const UPDATED:String ="streamUpdated"; [snip] > getting the error "variable declarations are not permitted in interfaces". but a constant is not a variable, its set at compile time so why is this not allowed?
