Array instantiation for actionscript classes

If you want to avoid some nightmares, don't instantiate the arrays in the variable definition inside a class.
i.e. DON'T do the following

class myClass {

var my_array:Array = new Array()

function myClass()
{
}

....
}

Coz this would end up with a behaviour similar to having the my_array defined as static. What I think that it is happening, is that it won't re-initialise the variables when you instantiate a class but will just give you a reference to the array. Thus each instance you create will have a reference to the same array. How dumb!

So the solution is ofcourse to move the array instantiation in the constructor, like so:

class myClass {

var my_array:Array;

function myClass()
{
my_array = new Array();
}

....
}
