Question

Using flash.ui.Mouse inside a class named Mouse, possible?

Answer 1

+1 A:

You have to import flash.ui.Mouse, and use the fully qualified class name in your code (flash.ui.Mouse.)

I did not know that you had to import something even if you use its fully qualified name. That is very different form most languages.Works a charm, thanks!

If you need access to both Mouse classes, yours and the default, you'll need to use the fully qualified name for both of them too.

Thanks Sandro -- the whole point is to never have to use anything but my own class, though. So that shouldn't be a problem.

Answer 2

A:

You could use this. I'm not sure of the reasoning, but it works.

import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName; // Goes in import section, obviously.

getDefinitionByName("flash.ui.Mouse").hide();

This work, but you get no compile time type checking, and the run-time definition resolving is more expensive.

Maybe that's the price you have to pay for naming a class Mouse :) jk.
