scene plugin install failure

Description

i found an issue with phaser.js . it was a issue loading some plugins. as an example the animated tiles plugin would not load properly because if line 126250 " pluginManager.installScenePlugin(systemKey, window[this.key], sceneKey, this.loader.scene, true);". if this line is change to "pluginManager.installScenePlugin(systemKey, Function(return ${this.key})(), sceneKey, this.loader.scene, true);" then the plugin works correctly.
the script this resides in is here :

phaser/src/loader/filetypes/PluginFile.js

Line 114 in e337b6e

var plugin = pluginManager.install(this.key, window[this.key], start, mapping);

Example Test Code

What's the code you used when the animated tiles plugin wouldn't load properly?

[Lunalyst]

the code I was using the animated tile plugin was my own game project. specifically my default scene class which is a class that builds of the scene object. specifically it was
this.load.scenePlugin({
key: 'AnimatedTiles',
url: 'lib/vendors/AnimatedTiles.js',
sceneKey: 'AnimatedTiles'
});

[samme]

load.scenePlugin() only works if the key is a property of window after the plugin script loads. The plugin author has to write it that way, e.g.,

window.AnimatedTiles = AnimatedTiles;

You can instead load the plugin script as a <script> (or even import it) and then pass the plugin class to the game config.
