[Laszlo-dev] why does the compiler give an error if I ask for the nodeType of a data node in as3

[Henry Minsky]

   I've got this code which gets a flex compiler error when compiling in swf9:

 public static function xmlrpc2jsobj (node:LzDataNodeMixin):* {
        if ( node.nodeType == LzDataElement.TEXT_NODE ){


org.openlaszlo.sc.CompilerError: line unknown: Error: Access of
possibly undefined property nodeType through a reference with static
type LzDataNodeMixin, in line: if ($1.nodeType ==
LzDataElement.TEXT_NODE) {

Why  does it not let me reference the nodeType of my 'node'? What is a
"static type"?
