  That's the first time I've looked at ActionScript code. Javascript has such an elegant object system - they should have kept it.

    Could be wrong but I think you can still use the prototype syntax if you want.

      I know that the prototype syntax is available in as2, but I think it was removed in as3. I agree that the prototype syntax is more elegant, but I really believe Adobe was trying to appeal to Java and .NET developers.

        "but I think it was removed in as3" Wrong. I was curious so i tested it (i've been experimenting with Flex 2). The following code outputs "blah blah": var foo:Function = function() {} foo.prototype.someMethod = function() { trace("blah blah"); } new foo().someMethod(); I think the prototype syntax was kept to maintain backwards compatibility.

          Thats cool, does it work with creating classes that way as well?
          • spiralhead 19y ago
            im assuming the above code is equivalent to: class foo { public function someMethod() { trace("blah blah"); } } new foo().someMethod(); just different approaches to the same problem
