going a bit offtopic here, but isnt polymorphism a non-issue in both flash and java? People talk about like there can be such a thing in these languages, which isn't really true. It seems a bit silly to call something polymorphism just because its implementing some interfaces.
oh well, that probably didn't make any sense i suppose, im not getting any decent sleep lately :) greets, Meinte On 8/25/06, Ricardo Sánchez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I know a lot of theory (inheritance, polymorphism...) but I would like to see more applications for it so I can be more confident when I use it.
