I'm sorry, Steven, that's just not true. Test out the following code:
package
{
public class A
{
public function A()
{
trace("A Constructor");
}
}
}
package
{
public class B extends A
{
public function B()
{
trace("B Constructor");
}
}
}
and create an instance of B, and you will see:
"A Constructor"
"B Constructor"
in the debug window.
You only explicitly need to specify the super() call to pass arguments
to your superclass's constructor.
(I've _never_ used empty super() calls, and all my code still works -
all my superclass constructors still get called...)
