[Papervision3D] cool unity3d game

[Makc]

Excuse me, but this is getting too long already, and totally
pointless. Not to mention this is off topic for pv3d list.

Let me remind you that you still can continue to code in good old AS1
style; this code works fine in AS3:

// make AS1 style function
// this one goes from Netscape JS reference
var str_rep:Function = function (n) {
var s = "", t = this.toString()
while (--n >= 0) s += t
return s
}

// make a string
var s1:String = "a";

// String class is final, but who gives a shit
String.prototype.rep = str_rep;

// cast to Object to stfu compiler
trace ((s1 as Object).rep(3)) // returns "aaa"

// or abuse square brackets
trace (s1["rep"](4)) // returns "aaaa"

Then, I don't get it what's big deal with waiting for objects to be
created and added to stage. First, there are events such as
Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE specifically for that, and second, having your
code "waiting" for objects initialization in past actually means there
was no option to run your code before initialization - a limitation,
not a feature.

Oh wait, you tricked me into arguing... let's stop it.
