FDT can't parse LoadingItem about bulk-loader HOT 5 CLOSED

Hej Arthur,

you are right. I test it in strict-mode and sure I can compile it without 
problems.
It seems that the Parser has some problems. I will talk to the FDT-Team.

The FDT folks were very nice and answered that the issue is a bug on their 
parsing
code(it's having trouble reading the static initializer near loadClass).

They said a fix is on it's way, but not very critical right now, so it might 
take
some time.

I'll think about wiping a patch for that if I have the time.

This is actually very easy to fix, I've posted the fix on my blog, it really 
only
requires minor changes to two lines of code:

 On line 201-207 of LoadingItem.as remove all of the quotation marks. These lines
should now look like so:

private static var classes : Object= {
loader: Loader,
xml: URLLoader,
video:NetConnection,
sound: Sound,
text: URLLoader
};


In line 958 of BulkLoader.as add a “new” before “type”. This is better 
practice in my
opinion anyway. I personally find the change of ClassName(statement) from a 
casting
role into an implied constructor, very annoying! Should look like:

var res : * = new type(item.content);

That will take care of the errors in FDT without changing the behavior of 
BulkLoader
or it's compiled op-code. (unless I'm mistaken?)

I've posted about it on FDT blog. Solution you are proposing:

var res : * = new type(item.content);

It is NOT good. This line should like about this:

var res : * = item.content as type;

In this line there is a casting operation ( we know that item.content "is" type 
),
not creating new instance of type class.

BTW Is there any chance to make this changes into svn repo?

The FDT fix was taking to long, fixed in revision 111.
