Funny, ha ha, that would be quite a site...
Ok, One of my flex-team peeps, Andy, came to tell me the same thing
you said, I understand that now.
FrameworkClasses is really interesting how flex solves loading the
core files from the framework in the same manner. I followed the same
manner and it works fine for my needs. eh, I guess some of my
frustration come from not "understanding" why things fail... and i am
totally bull-headed, I sometimes cuss at my computer, and try and fail
rather than come up with another solution because I want to know why,
and how to avoid the trap in the future...
internal class FrameworkClasses
{
import mx.binding.ArrayElementWatcher; ArrayElementWatcher;
import mx.binding.BindabilityInfo; BindabilityInfo;
import mx.binding.EvalBindingResponder; EvalBindingResponder;
etc...
}
