Flash doesn't actually have abstract classes, but I like to fake it sometimes by simply making the constructor private. That way you can't instantiate the class itself (at least from code external to the class), but have to extend it and instantiate subclasses. I also like to fake abstract methods by creating methods in the "abstract" superclass which just throw errors. That way you have to override them in subclasses before you can use them. -- T.
