Yeah, but it seems we need to allow methods in states, as common
subroutines. I think we just have to document that a method in a
state is really just a method on the parent. We need to do this at
compile time eventually, and warn you if you are trying to override a
method on the parent... hey, maybe a state is really just a mix-in?

Oh, my check only warns when you use method in an instance that is a
descendant of state, not in a
class definition that extends state. I'll add that check.

We have a problem:
dragstate has an internal method, __dragstate_get_newpos, that is
used
by the constraints that it installs. The constraints run in the
parent, so they expect that internal method of dragstate to be in
the
parent. It doesn't really need to be applied/removed; it just needs
to be there for when the constraints are applied.
I thought I had updated to include your new warning, but I am not
getting a warning on this. It is used by the swf debugger, so
should
be triggering a warning, no?
Anyways, we might have to re-think our policy about no methods in
states. Not that they can't have methods, but that any methods they
contain become methods on the parent, automatically.
