Hey kc, although constructors (in AS3) aren't allowed to actually return value, they are allowed a return-type. I always add the ":void" part just because I (personally) think it looks a bit messy if you leave it out (every other method does have a return-type, right?)..

I dont think a constructor is allowed a return type…as indicated in your first example. Thats prolly gonna cause someone a bit of confusion.

package com.rubenswieringa {
public class MyClass {
public function MyClass ():void {
}
}}

To answer your question, “oi!” will first be traced and then “Hello”.
Before the constructor of a class is executed, any expressions (variable-definitions, but also method-calls) outside of method-definitions (and within the class-definition) will be executed.

// ActionScript file
package com.rubenswieringa {
public class MyClass {
trace(”oi!”);
public function MyClass ():void
{
trace(”Hello”);
}
}
}

i we create an object how would be the output…

[...] similar to the public and private (etc.) attributes in Actionscript syntax (also see my previous post on AS3 class syntax). It basically works like this; first you define a namespace somewhere, and second you apply it to [...]

Ah, so there’s no chance AS3 in Flex will be modified later on to match AS3 in Flash, as opposed to the other way around?

Oh, and my apologies for the late response.

Fortunately, in the AS3 version for the Flash9 Alpha, packages are allowed to carry multiple classes.

Don’t count on that same behavior working in the final release of Flash CS3. It is a bug, and Adobe will probably change it to match the Flex compiler.
