Flash is still treating the array as a static member.
It isn't static, but it is being assigned the array object in the
prototype, which acts sort of like a static member. You need to assign
(initialize) it in the constructor, rather than in the member defenition.

Keep in mind that you can use compression on your XML, pretty much all
