Did anyone who attended Max this year hear anything about the status of Actionscript 4? I heard a lot about new tools and HTML 5 support and junk, but I meant to ask the Adobe guys about Actionscript 4 and forgot. And I had ample opportunity too. Anyone heard or know anything about

What?! I don't know which Kenneth Kawamoto you're referring to, Kerry, but I do not work for Adobe and I'm definitely not an ECMA Script Committee member either! May be you got mixed up with someone else from my Director-list days? Anyway it's good to be confused with someone better than I,

[Flashcoders] Calling a Static Function

2010-11-09 Thread Kerry Thompson
AS3, Flex 4. I have an asset swf I'm downloading. It has a public static function I want to call to initialize some stuff. FlashBuilder 4 is giving me an error, though, and an odd one--Incorrect number of arguments. Expecting one. The function I'm trying to call is declared with no arguments:
