Well, you can't actually "alter" the constructor - maybe some hacks in
AS2 that appear to do that, but in AS3, I think maybe you would consider
this inheritance approach:
package
{
import flash.text.TextField;
public class SuperTextField extends TextField
{
public function SuperTextField()
{
super();
styleSheet = whateverStyleSheet;
//whatever else here
}
}
}
Then use SuperTextField instead of TextField in your code.
