Due to the “prototype” architecture of the class implementation in the Flash Player and due to how objects are instantiated, you can not be sure in which order constants are set and allocated space in memory.
There is some material about this, you should be able to find it via search engine.
Let me know if it works out for you.

Great work, btw…

The class I wrote had these constants in order from low to high, but they have been shifted into this weird order somehow. Any idea why?
