Francis, It worked in betas, but was removed on production build - we had to remove samples from the chapter. In standard mode fails for us on access as well with runtime error. More importantly, we can not extend Function datatype as runtime fails instantiation stating that type Function is final. If that restriction is removed, very cool OO tricks can be done.

You should be able to add properties to function objects, just as the docs suggest. Unfortunately, it looks like this isn't working in strict mode anymore. Oddly, it does work in standard mode, but that may not be a viable workaround for you. I had a brief discussion about this with the engineers that worked on it and their initial reaction was that this sounds like a bug. I've filed it as such, and they will investigate it further.

Example: function test() { trace(arguments.callee.prop); } test.prop = "testing"; // Error Global.as <http://global.as/> defines Function as dynamic yet FB produces an error. This is supposedly possible in AS3 as per: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/00001835.html However, if you try the last example you'll get compiler errors. Is there a way to add properties to a function? Or is this not supported in AS3? -- Derek Vadneau
