Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Dynacore preview release

[Robert R. <rra...@ya...>]

I haven't messed with your new release much, but I did notice this
problem with subclassing similar to yours.

When you use that technique to subclass DynLayers and such, it causes
a problem when in the Object you add each id to the DynAPI.unassigned
array.  Lets say you have 5 DynLayers that have been initialized, then
the unassigned array will have 6 DynLayer entries because of this
line:
DynLayer.prototype = new DynObject();

I don't know if it will ever be a problem, but I think you might be
better off adding to the unassigned array in the DynLayer, etc
themselves. Of course that would mess up some other stuff too (like
toString), so maybe its not worth it.
