Where would you place a your "global" properties? This is a question that
has always got me.
If the properties such as framerate, gatewayURL, styles, etc need to be in
the class application. They have to be there for two reasons.
1. User defined inspectable properties.
2. variables must be available for proper instantiation.
I have always wanted to have a config file, then a worker class that just
handles all the get setters. However I have never been able to pull this off
in order for the application class to wait for the variables to be
populated. Any ideas? I assume I will try again in AS3.
