[flexcoders] Re: rewriting a function using prototype?

I've used this in this past....a bit more verbose but does the trick.

                  var j:junk1 = new junk1();

                  // style 1 outputs "base f1"
                  j.f1();
                  
                  // style 2 outputs "base f1"
              j["f1"]();

                  // ooops, have a bug in base f1, reassign it!
                  j.dF1 = function():void{trace("junk1 f1 override");};         
                

                  // override f1 outputs "junk1 f1 override"
                  j["f1"]();
