[Flashcoders] The issue of "parent" in AS3

[Johan Nyberg]

Anybody knows if it's bad practice to type-cast the parent-property to  
the class of the parent?

Since parent is a property of the DisplayObject class, you can only  
reference properties and methods of that class directly through the  
parent-property.

If you want to access other properties or methods, you have to type- 
cast parent to the specific class.

If you have some other "cleaner" ways of doing this it would be  
greatly appreciated!
