[flexcoders] Building to FP10 breaks code that works if I build to FP9...why?
Hello people,
I hope someone here can point me in the right direction here.
I have a class in my codebase that defines objects that contain functions eg
(pseudocode):
package com.my.package {
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
public class Dohickey extends EventDispatcher {
public var thingy:Whatsit;
public function init():void {
doThings.create();
}
public var doThings:Object = {
create: function():void {
if ( ! thingy ) {
thingy = new Whatsit();
}
}
};
}
}
Now, if I build to Flash Player 9, I can call init() on the above code and
doThings.create() will run and create a new Whatsit into the thingy variable.
If I build it to Flash Player 10, I get an error saying
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property com.my.package:Dohickey::thingy not found
on Object and there is no default value.

at com.my.package::Dohickey/create()[/Users/guy/Documents/Flex Builder
3/../Dohickey.as:11]
Can someone explain why?
Please? :-)

Hello,
I think your create function is not in class instance scope (because inline)
: should be static or from an instance of Dohickey to work, I think.

Yes, it looked like a scoping problem to me as well. Just curious as to why it
works in 9 but not 10. I couldn't find any documentation that said there was a
change in this area.
