Seems you are missing the constructor that actually performs the
singleton protection, Here is an example of one way to create a
singleton class (there are others):
************=================================***********
package com.somefolder.vo
{
[Bindable] public class TestClass
{
private static var testMe: TestClass;
public var user_bemsid:Number = 0;
public var user_fname:String = "";
public var user_lname:String = "";
public var user_mname:String = "";
// singleton: constructor only allows one user
public function TestClass() : void {
if ( _user != null ) {
throw new Error( "Only one TestClass
instance can be instantiated" );
}
}
// singleton: always returns the one existing static
instance to itself
public static function getInstance() : TestClass {
if ( _user == null ) {
_user = new TestClass();
}
return _user;
}
}
}
************=================================*******
This is an example of how you init the class, if you try to init it
more then once it will throw an error:
import com.somefolder.TestClass;
[Bindable] public var testModel : TestClass = TestClass.getInstance();
I would recommend looking into Cairngorm as it utilizes many design
patterns that fix many issues you will run into as a developer using
Flex.
