Now that I'm stuck on new View3D(); I'm reading the away source and I
dont see how this is ever supposed to work.
Considering the following code:
public class Init
{
/** @private */
arcane var _init:Object;
public function Init(init:Object)
{
this._init = init;
}
public static function parse(init:Object):Init
{
if (init == null)
return new Init(null);
if (init is Init)
return init as Init;
inits.push(init);
return new Init(init);
}
plus this code inside View3D's ctor:
_ini = Init.parse(init) as Init;
var stats:Boolean = _ini.getBoolean("stats", true);
If I call new View3D() this is necessarily going to dereference null.
What is going on?
