Explicitly typing variables causes compiler to think an instance of a builtin type doesn't have a pr
- by wallacoloo
I narrowed the causes of an AS3 compiler error 1119 down to code that looks similar to this:
var test_inst:Number = 2.953;
trace(test_inst);
trace(test_inst.constructor);
I get the error "1119: Access of possibly undefined property constructor through a reference with static type Number."
Now if I omit the variable's type, I don't get that error:
var test_inst = 2.953;
trace(test_inst);
trace(test_inst.constructor);
it produces the expected output:
2.953
[class Number]
So what's the deal? I like explicitly typing variables, so is there any way to solve this error other than not providing the variable's type?
