[flexcoders] Abstract type and cannot be instantiated.

2008-06-23 Thread gnu wolf 
Hi,

Is there a way around this? Is it true that AS 3 does *not* support abstract
classes (classes that cannot be instantiated, only extended)?

I'm getting this error from my flex application:

org.xml.sax.SAXException:
{urn:core_2008_1.platform.webservices.netsuite.com}Record
is an abstract type and cannot be instantiated

TIA.

Clem

AS3 doesn't support abstract classes, but sometimes libaries will get around
this by creating a class that functions like an abstract class and have each
function throw a custom error unless the function is overridden.  So it
looks like something in the sax library is throwing that.
