Hello :)
In AS2 or AS1 you can't override the TextField class... if you do that you
destroy the native class :)
You must use the prototype hack with the keyword __proto__ to change the
nature of your instances....
Example :
_global.MyTextField = function()
{
super();
//
};
MyTextField.prototype.__proto__ = TextField.prototype ;
MyTextField.prototype.myCustomMethod = function() {}
////
var tf:TextField = createTextField("field", 1, 10,10,250,250) ;
// Hack the native instance with your custom class
tf.__proto__ = MyTextField.prototype ; // hack the prototype
MyTextField.call(tf) ; // launch the constructor
Now .. you can create a global function or a class, an helper to simplify
this hack :)
eKA+ :)
