Description

package
{
	public class Dummy
	{
		public static const NAME:String = "Dummy";
		public function Dummy(myName:String=NAME)
		{
			_name = myName;
		}
		private var _name:String;
	}
}

The constructor compiles to this:

/**
 * @constructor
 * @param {string=} myName
 */
Dummy = function(myName) {
  myName = typeof myName !== 'undefined' ? myName : NAME;
  this._name = myName;
};


/**
 * @export
 * @const
 * @type {string}
 */
Dummy.NAME = "Dummy";

When trying to instantiate, you'll get an error NAME is undefined.

It should be this instead:

  myName = typeof myName !== 'undefined' ? myName : Dummy.NAME;
