Date datatype in a class

Ok I got it. If you notice that Get Date property function I have in there. Yeah
it didn't like that at all. Once I renamed it everything else cleared up. Thanks
for the help. The stub class helped big time.

Good luck.

Here's a working class maybe you can compare what you're doing to what
is here.

class Foo
{
private var _date:Date;
public function get Month ():Number
{
return _date.getMonth ();
}
public function Foo ()
{
_date = new Date ();
}
}

// usage
var foo:Foo = new Foo ();
trace( foo.Month );

You can use *any* AS datatype in an AS class file.

I've never tried to do that, since ASBroadcaster is a mixin class. Any
reason why you're extending it?
