So yea...WTF? I can't believe after my years of AS2 coding that it would
have taken me this long to notice.
I think I muttered those exact words. Bizzare behavior. Though I don't think
I have ever run into it. Someone taught me long ago not to initialize class
variables in their definitions. S

In AS2 it does (and has been discussed here in the past), in AS3 it doesn't.

I'm going to chime in here.
Lazy Instantiation is an irrelevant argument when you're instantiating
in the constructor.

Allthough the following no longer seems to apply in AS3, it might be good to
know.
In AS2, if you have the following class:
class MyClass {
private var myArray:Array =
);
}
public function get data():Array
{
return MyClass.myArray;
}
}

Lazy Instantiation is an irrelevant argument when you're instantiating

hi
just a semantic question really
when writing your classes, would you only declare variables in the class and
assign variables later or would you assign values straight away if you had
them?
so for instance, would you...:
package
they're both eager, though, aren't they?
the only difference is that everything is instantiated in the first
method of the class rather than in the class head

Either way to me is a non-issue.
However, it is an issue if I want to implement lazy instantiation. That
is, instantiating objects only right before you need them.
Thus, in your first example, the bulk of instantiation occurs up-front.

Not sure if this is correct for AS3, but I was under the impression that
there was an actual performance penalty to doing things the first way
(object creation and assignment in the class definition rather than in the
methods or the constructor).
Still, I like doing things the 2nd way, if only bec
