joshtynjala opened a new issue #73: Abstract classes in ActionScript
URL: https://github.com/apache/royale-compiler/issues/73
 
 
   Proposed syntax:
   
   ``` actionscript
   package com.example
   {
   	public abstract class MyAbstractClass
   	{
   		public MyAbstractClass()
   		{
   			
   		}
   	}
   }
   ```
   
   At compile time, use of an abstract class in a `new` statement should result in an error
   
   ``` actionscript
   new MyAbstractClass(); //error
   ```
   
   Similar to the `InterfaceCannotBeInstantiatedProblem` that is created when trying to instantiate an interface, there should be an problem for abstract classes with this message:
   
   > Abstract classes cannot be instantiated with the new operator.
