[osflash] AS2 inheritance problem. flash bug ?

[Dani Bacon]

hi,

im trying to compile a flash8 project and the compiler seems to break an
inheritance connection between 2 classes.
movieclips are on stage and their library symbols are linked to the Country
class.
this worked but after making a few minor changes to AbstractMarker [added a
method] the compiler suddenly stopped recognizing the inheritance connection
between BoundedMarker and AbstractMarker.
code :

class marker.AbstractMarker extends RadioButton implements Marker {

    function AbstractMarker() {
    }

    // methods

    public function testMethodBaseClass() {}

}

import org.as2lib.env.reflect.ReflectUtil;

class marker.BoundedMarker extends AbstractMarker {

    function BoundedMarker() {
        super();

        trace(ReflectUtil.getTypeNameForInstance(this.__proto__));
                 // traces BoundedMarker [since
movieclips are based on Country]

        trace(ReflectUtil.getTypeNameForInstance(this.__proto__.__proto__));
// traces Object [!! ignores AbstractMarker]

        trace(this.test2);
// traces [type Function]

        trace(this.testMethodBaseClass);
// traces undefined

        // more code of course ...

    }

    public function test2() {}

}

class marker.Country extends BoundedMarker {

    private function Country() {
    }

}

and

trace(mc instanceof Country) is true
trace(mc instanceof BoundedMarker) is true

but

trace(mc instanceof AbstractMarker) is false

im using FlashDevelop and MTASC but compiling via the flash8 env as well.
anyone any ideas ? how do i even start finding the problem ? is this some
kind of flash bug ?

regards
dani
