Question

if i have following code :

class Stand {

public static const STAND_LIST:Array = new Array();
STAND_LIST[0] = new Array();
STAND_LIST[1] = new Array();

public function Stand() {
    //constructor
    }
}

is the STAND_LIST[0] keeps created every new instance of Stand created? or is it created just once?

if it’s created every new instance of Stand created, how do i make it run just once?(like initializing const)

Answer 1

Statics are initialized once for the class; they are not initialized each time a new class instance is created.

Here’s a helpful link regarding static initializers in ActionScript:
