I'd be happy to, but first I have to have a discovery! Clarke _____

But, I want to learn something new! So, I waded through the code for Alert.as <http://alert.as/> and AlertForm.as using the debugger. AlertForm has the text box that's giving me trouble, and it goes through a calculation that looks at the number and size of buttons along with the width of the title. From that, it calculates the width of the text box. It looks like the minimum width is about 250 pixels -- A problem since my whole movie is only 225 pixels wide! So, shouldn't I be able to subclass the Alert class to get the behavior I want. I know this will be more work, but remember, I'm trying to learn something. If all the code was in one class, I think I could just override the method that's calculating the text width. But with two classes, I'm confused. Alert.as <http://alert.as/> instantiates AlertForm.as. So, here are my questions: - I think I have to have two new classes -- Right? - The constructor for Alert creates an instance of AlertForm. So, I have to override the constructor for Alert in my new AlertSmall class, and have it instantiate my new AlertFormSmall class. - Then I have to override the textwidth method in AlertForm with my new one in AlertFormSmall. - I'm I thinking about this correctly? Am I missing something? Is there an easier way? Thanks to all!
