== Why is this an issue?

Making a public constant just ``++const++`` as opposed to ``++static const++`` leads to duplicating its value for every instance of the class, uselessly increasing the amount of memory required to execute the application.

=== Noncompliant code example

[source,flex]
----
public class Myclass 
{
  public const THRESHOLD:int = 3;   
}
----

=== Compliant solution

[source,flex]
----
public class Myclass 
{
  public static const THRESHOLD:int = 3;   
}
----
