This is a simple scope issue. The problem is caused exactly by that what you talked about. When assigning killingFocus to the textfield's event, use some kind of delegation (e.g. mx.util.Delegate):
txt.onKillFocus = mx.utils.Delegate.create(this, killingFocus); (off: actually, "this" is not required inside AS2 classes) Attila JN> Hi, I have a problem extending an inherited function.
