joshtynjala commented on issue #100: Literal string to identify package public namespace
URL: https://github.com/apache/royale-compiler/issues/100#issuecomment-560481906
 
 
   I tried compiling the following code with the Apache Flex SDK 4.16.1 and AIR SDK 32.0.0.89, and they don't behave the same. The Flex SDK compiles successfully, but ASC 2.0 reports an error.
   
   ```actionscript
   package
   {
   	import flash.display.MovieClip;
   
   	public class FlashPackageAsNamespace extends MovieClip
   	{
   		public function FlashPackageAsNamespace()
   		{
   			namespace dispns = 'flash.display'
   			new dispns::Sprite
   		}
   	}
   }
   ```
   
   Error reported by ASC 2.0:
   
   > FlashPackageAsNamespace.as:10
   > Error: Call to a possibly undefined method Sprite.
   >                        new dispns::Sprite
   
   The Royale compiler behaves similarly to ASC 2.0, which obviously makes sense since it was originally forked from ASC 2.0.
