I've done some testing with the mixin implementation. There is a bug
if you define a mixin with a view child, and have the class using the
mixin extend "node". Here's some example code:
<canvas debug="true">
<mixin name="mixin1">
<view name="redView" width="100" height="100" bgcolor="red">
</view>
</mixin>
<class name="class1" extends="node" with="mixin1">
<handler name="oninit">
var r = canvas.searchSubnodes("name", "redView");
Debug.info("redView = ", r);
Debug.info("redView.parent = ", r.parent);
</handler>
</class>
<class1 />
</canvas>
The SWF10 runtime doesn't show any error, and the debug output is:
INFO: redView = <view>#0 | /class1/@redView
INFO: redView.parent = <class1>#2| class1
The DHTML runtime throws a TypeError:
Uncaught TypeError: Object class1 has no method 'addSubview'
Guess the compiler would have to throw an error when a subclass of
node uses a mixin which contains views. But then, I just realize that
the compiler doesn't warn if you add a view to a subclass of node when
not using a mixin. What should the compiler do in such a case?
