[Swfdec] Question about SwfdecAsRelay

[Benjamin Otte]

Hey,

SwfdecAsRelay is the object that relays things from the actionscript to the
native objects (and back). I invented it back when I realized that the
native object that a script object refers to is decided when a constructor
is run.
So I needed to split the actual script object from the native object.
Previously - until late into the 0.7 cycle I think - they were the same
objects, and everything inherited from SwfdecAsObject and that caused issues
when we did mad stuff (like calling two different native constructors on the
object).
The relevant test is test/trace/constructor-relay.as

These days, we just change the relay the object points to and get on with
life.

Cheers,
Benjamin
