You can put code before super(). If you intend to use any super methods then you definitely need to call super() beforehand. But if you want to call a method of your sub class before super(), it does work.
.. now I don't necessarily agree with doing that, but I guess it depends on what you need to accomplish.

You should pass the labelClass value to the super constructor (watch your every move, super constructor). super("date"); and in your parent function ClassName(lc:String) { labelClass = lc; } _______________________________________________ [email protected] 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
