Then how do you explain my results? 43 bytes for a SWF with nothing in it compared to 42.5 KB (that's kilobytes) with only 5 import statements.
How do you account for the ~42.4 KB? And how do you account for the fact that a trace of the class using [] notation traces out [type Function]? If the classes were in fact not included, would it not return undefined? The compiler doesn't know that I've referenced the class when I use [] notation.

The import statements tell the compiler where to find the classes your going to use, it compiles into the byte code only the classes you use. You could also do it by giving the full package.class of the class too. Import statements aren't strictly necessary, but they save a lot of typing if your using the library a lot. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
