Description

applicationDomain.getDefinition() returns null for a valid class name if called from constructor of a class instantiated from static initializer.

Base class:

package
{
import flash.system.ApplicationDomain;
import flash.utils.getQualifiedClassName;

public class RegularAssClassBase
{
public var clazz:Class;

public function RegularAssClassBase()

{ var applicationDomain:ApplicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain; var name:String = flash.utils.getQualifiedClassName(this); clazz = applicationDomain.getDefinition(name) as Class; }

}
}

The subclass:

package
{
public class RegularAssClass extends RegularAssClassBase
{
public static var RAClass:RegularAssClass;

{ RAClass = new RegularAssClass(); }

public function RegularAssClass()

{ super(); }

}
}

Expected result: clazz variable set to Object, or Error thrown by constructor

Actual result: clazz is null, no errors
