Ian,
That being the case, I can't quite see how intrinsics apply, as by
their nature they include no implementation at all.
Ah, good point. I just got excited when I saw that variable in there. It is one step closer to abstract.
Oddly, in AS3 Macrodobe have
taken out the facility to mark a constructor as anything else than public I think they're following the Java language closely, which only has public constructors. Scott On 10/14/06, Ian Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Scott, To me, an abstract class is one which has a partial - but incomplete - implementation i.e. you should never find yourself writing new SomeAbstractClass() - you should only ever be creating objects derived from it. The abstract class contains some useful re-usable stuff, but can't function on its own. Halfway between an interface and a class, if you like. That being the case, I can't quite see how intrinsics apply, as by their nature they include no implementation at all. The simplest way of faking an abstract class in AS2, I think, is just to mark the constructor as private. (Oddly, in AS3 Macrodobe have taken out the facility to mark a constructor as anything else than public - and I really can't fingure out why.)

However, does anyone know if an intrinsic > class could be used as an abstract class? _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
