Bug and fix, null pointers from ProxyFactory.defineProxy

[GoogleCodeExporter]

If you write code like so generates null pointer exception: 

proxyFactory.defineProxy(LoginService, BasicMethodInvocationInterceptor);

[Fault] exception, information=TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property 
or method of a null object reference.

If you write code like so, no problems:
proxyFactory.defineProxy(LoginService, BasicMethodInvocationInterceptor, 
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.loaderInfo.applicationDomain);

Indeed correct, bytecode type information is stored per application domain 
(since its possible to load classes with the same name yet different 
implementations into separate application domains.)
It is therefore necessary to provide the defineProxy() method with the correct 
applicationDomain instance.
I'll try and make this clearer in the documentation.

cheers,

Roland

IMHO. It might be better then to make the second argument obligatory or to 
throw a more descriptive Error in order to point the user in the right 
direction.

Hey there, sorry for the really late reply here, but I've added a more 
descriptive error. It know suggests to check whether the defineProxy() method 
receives the correct applicationdomain instance.
I hope that'll make things a bit clearer.
