Was reading an interesting explanation of prototype vs fixed property
inheritance in the AS3 livedocs.
Although, it was mentioned that in general, its always prefereable to use fixed
property (regular) inheritance for performance reasons, I was wondering why, or
when it would make sense to use prototype inheritance...
If you were stuck in 2002.
No, seriously, it might make sense if you needed one or more functions
to be the same between several classes that, for certain reasons,
could not be derived from the same superclass. But there are other
(IMHO, better) ways around this issue: composition + interface, static
methods, etc.
I can't think of any other instances off the top of my head, but there
are probably a few more....
