RE: Compiler error using static function toString

Yes,
 if I rename the static function to "toStringSome" the compiler stop to 
complain about that.

Hmm.  I agree that doesn't make sense.  Try changing the name of the function 
just to see if there is sensitivity to the "toString".  "toString" is handled 
in a strange way in AS.

                        return ToStringImp.toString("some string value");
                }
        }
    }
