org.as3commons.reflect.Type.isDynamic wrong?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When I continue research this Issue,I found :

var describe:XML = flash.utils.describeType(target);
var isDynamic:Boolean = (describe.@isDynamic as String) == "true";

describe.@isDynamic is XMLList , but not "Boolean".

Hi,

I've briefly investigated this issue and have found that describeType doesn't 
always return reliable data. For instance, one of the test classes is called 
'ComplexClass' and its class declaration look like this:

public class ComplexClass

Yet, when I trace the unit tests I see this XML return by describeType():

<type name="org.as3commons.reflect.testclasses::ComplexClass" base="Class" 
isDynamic="true" isFinal="true" isStatic="true">

That seems to be all wrong, right? Maybe this is a problem with the flashplayer 
I'm using? I have no idea what's going on here, but it seems to be all wrong.

I'm changing the status of this bug to 'Won't fix' since the data retrieved 
from the native describeType() is faulty. Unfortunately there's nothing we can 
do about that.
The as3commons-reflect library has however been augmented with the new 
describeTypeJSON support. It seems that this native method does yield the 
correct data. This will only be available in flashplayer 10.1 and higher 
though. (Since from that versionb the describeTypeJSON method was exposed)
