  "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?

      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
