AS3 does not make it possible to access a method which has been overridden. You'll have to modify the AutoComplete code.

Hi Chris, I am currently trying to extend the AutoComplete component that Adobe released recently. AutoComplete extends ComboBox and it overrides a few methods such as keyDownHandler and UpdateDisplayList. In my subclass of AutoComplete I want to access the originally defined keyDownHandler and updateDisplayList in ComboBox, essentially bypassing the methods overridden in AutoComplete. I tried super.super.someMethod and it is not possible. The bulk of AutoComplete, I want to use, but those two methods are displaying undesirable results which need to be changed.
