Different decompiler can give different results. Somehow what you gave in
source happens to work. Even this works
private static var myvarfirst:String = "testing";
private var myVar:String = this.myvarfirst;
It allows assigning static values in non-static way and non-static values in
static way. Java allows both ways below:
private String s3 = "jpm";
private String s2 =s3;
private static String s3 = "jpm";
private String s2 = this.s3;

FWIW, I ran the compiled code through a decompiler and this is how the same
code gets converted as:
*Source*:
package
{
public class A
{
public var minHeight:Number = 9;
public var minHeight2:Number = minHeight;
}
}
*After decompilation*:
package
{
public class A
{
public function A()
{
this.minHeight2 = this.minHeight;
}
public var minHeight2:Number;
public var minHeight:Number = 9;
}
}
Next, I tried this (compiles fine):
*Source:*
package
{
public class A
{
public var minHeight:Number = 9;
public var minHeight2:Number = this["minHeight"];
}
}
*After decompilation:*
package
{
public class A
{
public function A()
{
this.minHeight2 = this['minHeight'];
}
public var minHeight2:Number;
public var minHeight:Number = 9;
}
}
Not sure if we learned something here, but it just makes it more interesting :-)
