It's not ideal, but one way that I've found to define a typedef function
that exposes "static" functions similar to a class is to put those "static"
functions into a package with the same name as the root function.
package
{
/**
* @externs
*/
COMPILE::JS
public function marked(s:String):String {
return null;
};
}
package marked
{
/**
* @externs
* configure marked with options
*/
COMPILE::JS
public function setOptions(o:Object):void {};
}
Another option is to use dynamic access, but that won't be checked by the
compiler.
marked["setOptions"]()
