Hi Derek, That's really interesting - and goes against everything I'd expect. Particularly when your other results have kind of proved the opposite (and I've certainly proved the opposite before with ClassFinder situations). A couple of other tests might prove illuminating...
- Is the same true of non-Macromedia classes? (i.e. have they hacked something specifically for those? I'd doubt it, but you never know) - How does it behave when you do something like: import mx.controls.Button; var a:String="mx"; trace(_global[a]['controls']['Button']); In other words, is the compiler doing some cunning reduction on the string literals and actually working out that you're using the class? Again, I doubt it, but you never know! You have me mystified. :-D I'd test it myself, but have to rush off now to put up a tent in about 10cm of muddy water in a field somewhere in the middle of the UK. If nothings come to light by the beginning of next week, I'll have another look. :-) Cheers, Ian On 5/25/06, Derek Vadneau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Now the docs say that import by itself doesn't include the classes, but I used this code: import mx.controls.Button; import mx.controls.List; import mx.controls.Tree; import mx.controls.DataGrid; import mx.containers.Accordion; trace(_global['mx']['controls']['Button']);
