//AS 2.0
class data{
public static var Name:String = ‘noone’;
}

Now, to use that var you would do the following, right?

import data;
class section{
function section(){
_root.name.text = data.Name;
}
}

So, you have that done and you’re good to go right. What happens to name.text after youupdate data.Name?

import data;
class section{
function section(){
_root.name.text = data.Name; //value is ‘noone’
data.Name = ‘John’;
trace(_root.name.text); //value is ‘noone’
}
}

Now, if name.text was bound to data.Name the text property of name would stay updated with the value in data.Name.

Having used static classes too much I know where you are coming from but trust me/us…take the red pill. ;-)

Disclaimer:
Sorry for the AS 2. It comes more natural than AS 3 at this point. If Jesse integrated code completion (IntelliSense or something), it would be easier to comment with code. :-) j/k Jesse.

Unfortunately, I’m in 1.5 currently.
