Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create method with [Bindable("change")]

[Bindable("change")]
protected function method1(str:String):String

{ return str; }

2. Create method with static property or method

package
{
public class StaticClass
{
public static function staticMethod(str:String):String

{ return str; }

}
}

3. Call method, passing in static method or property in MXML Binding expression

<s:Label text="

{method2([StaticClass.staticMethod('blob')])}

"/>

Actual Results:
Compiler generates bad code, concatenating "target" on the static class: "StaticClasstarget"

public class _StaticMXMLBindingBugWatcherSetupUtil
implements mx.binding.IWatcherSetupUtil2
{
public function setup(target:Object,
propertyGetter:Function,
staticPropertyGetter:Function,
bindings:Array,
watchers:Array):void
{

watchers[2] = new mx.binding.FunctionReturnWatcher("method2",
target,
function():Array

{ return [ [StaticClasstarget.staticMethod("blob")] ]; }

,

{ change: true }

,
[bindings[1]],
propertyGetter
);

}

}

Expected Results:
Should compile correctly

Workaround (if any):

Wrap access to static property or method in a local method.
