Type.
Note: even if this class implements the IAnnotatedElement interface,
annotations are not supported on ActionScript 3 constructors (language limitation)
or not returned by flash.utils.describeType calls (reflection API limitation).
All IAnnotatedElement methods will return empty, null or false results.
| Property | Defined by | ||
|---|---|---|---|
 | annotations : Array
An array that contains all annotations directly attached to this
IAnnotatedElement. | Member | |
| declaredBy : Type
The
Type instance this described element belongs to. | DescribedElement | |
| name : String [read-only]
The name of this constructor (always equal to the unqualified class name)
| Constructor | ||
| ns : Namespace
The namespace of this
Member. | Member | |
| parameters : Array
An array that contains all the parameters of this
Parameterizable
instance. | Parameterizable | |
| propertyKey : String
The String representation of this member (field or method qName, key of a
dynamic property or dictionary, index of an array, etc.)
| Member | |
| qName : QName
The qualified name of this
Member. | Member | |
| uri : String [read-only]
The uri of this constructor (always "" because constructors cannot
use specific namespaces).

attached to this IAnnotatedElement. | Member | |

Annotation, whose name is equal to the supplied type parameter, is attached
to this IAnnotatedElement. | Member | |

Member instance is declared in the the suplied ns
namespace parameter. | Member | |
|
isMethod():Boolean
Checks if this member is a method.
| Member | |

public function Constructor(declaredBy:Type, desc:XML)
Constructs a new Constructor instance.
declaredBy:Type — the Type instance this constructor belongs to.

desc:XML — the XML description of the constructor.

public function newInstance(... args):*Returns a new instance of this constructor's declaring class.
This is just a utility method, limited to 10 maximum arguments. It may be simpler and more powerful to call directly the constructor the following way:
var myInstance:MyClass = new myType.getClass()(...);
... args — a variable list of arguments to pass to the constructor call.
|
* — the new instance of this constructor's declaring class.
|
|
|
InvocationTargetError — if the constructor has thrown an
error.
