Yes, I would think it would be easy - I'll try it now.

Why not have the swf9 compiler do that, so we can have the source at

Can't you just make the getter for the public attribute always
return 'true'?

Well, just for now, how about if I declare the instance vars in my
swf9-specific branches of LFC files as public, to aid in
making a debugger for swf9, and when we
merge them back with their original .lzs files, we can figure out how
to scope them?

I think namespace is the way to go. The question is whether to do
it
by hand or in the compiler. One idea is that when compiling the
LFC,
everything listed as public is in the lzxapplication namespace and
everything else is in the lfc namespace. Everything is public, just
in different namespaces.
I don't know how it is in AS3, but in JS2, a package is just a way
of
creating a pair of namespaces: public and private. So I don't see
why
you couldn't do the same thing with explicit namespaces.

One alternative is to have the script compiler strip private, and
add public,
for all vars when compiling in debug mode. That would be at a risk
of getting
a different behavior (seems unlikely, would require some bad coding
in the LFC).
Maybe there's some way to leverage namespaces to solve this?

I found out the describeType() function has this restriction:
Note: describeType() only shows public properties and methods, and
will not show properties and methods that are private, package
internal or in custom namespaces.
So if we want our debugger to really work nicely, I guess we
have to
declare all variables as public on the LFC obejcts...

Subject: interesting introspection API for AS3
To: Platform Team <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
So they have an API for inspecting a sealed class. Haven't seen if
there is any API for modifying it at runtime though (I am guessing
not)
Using the introspection API
If you want to list all the public properties and methods of a
non-dynamic (or sealed) class or class instance, use the
describeType() method and parse the results using the E4X API. The
describeType() method is in the flash.util package. The method's
only
parameter is the object that you want to introspect. You can
pass it
any ActionScript value, including all available ActionScript types
such as object instances, primitive types such as uint, and class
objects. The return value of the describeType() method is an E4X
XML
object containing an XML description of the object's type.
The following example instrospects the Button control and prints
the
details to TextArea controls:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml";
creationComplete="getDetails()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import flash.util.*;
public function getDetails():Void {
// Get the Button control's E4X XML object description:
var classInfo:XML = describeType(button1);
// Dump the entire E4X XML object into ta2:
ta2.text = classInfo.toString();
// List the class name:
ta1.text = "Class " + [EMAIL PROTECTED]() + "\n";
// List the object's variables, their values, and their types:
for each (var v:XML in classInfo..variable) {
ta1.text += "Variable " + [EMAIL PROTECTED] + "=" + [EMAIL PROTECTED] +
" (" + [EMAIL PROTECTED] + ")\n";
}
// List accessors as properties:
for each (var a:XML in classInfo..accessor) {
ta1.text += "Property " + [EMAIL PROTECTED] + "=" + [EMAIL PROTECTED] +
" (" + [EMAIL PROTECTED] +")\n";
}
// List the object's methods:
for each (var m:XML in classInfo..method) {
ta1.text += "Method " + [EMAIL PROTECTED] + "():" + [EMAIL PROTECTED] + "\n";
}
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Button label="Submit" id="button1"/>
<mx:TextArea id="ta1" width="400" height="200" />
<mx:TextArea id="ta2" width="400" height="200" />
