jgranick opened a new issue #385: (Question) Ability to write typedef classes?
URL: https://github.com/apache/royale-asjs/issues/385
 
 
   Hello!
   
   Sorry to write a question here as an issue, but is there a way using meta-data (like the @externs metadata) to have a typedef class in Royale?
   
   We have the `openfl.*` package defined in OpenFL, but we also want code referencing `flash.*` classes to work as well. We can do separate trees in our SWC externs (and do currently), but this results in a compiler error when it says that `openfl.display.Sprite` cannot be converted to unrelated type `flash.display.Sprite`... we want them to be the same. I tried something like the following, but it did not compile properly because it said there was no runtime constant of the class:
   
   ```as3
   package flash.display {
       import openfl.display.Sprite;
       public const Sprite:Class = openfl.display.Sprite;
   }
   ```
   
   Is there another way? Thanks!
