What does the double colon ('::') mean in Actionscript 3 / Flex?

Question

I'm tasked with updating a Flex project created by an outside contractor and in the Actionscript is the following chunk:

CONFIG::FLASH_10_1
{
    //Some code here
}

I've never seen this type of structure before and I'm having a heck of a time trying to search for it on Google - I've found what it means in just about every programming language except AS3. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure this relates to the conditional compilation features of the Flex compiler.

So, if you add a compiler argument, like this:

-define=CONFIG::FLASH_10_1

I bet that error will go away.
