You can simply override the open and close functions as well. (public
override function open():void{ ... ).

Very good idea. I didn't think to look for the calling functions. How
do I handle the two public functions (Open and Close)? Can I simply
create new functions for them in my class?

Hi Warren,
While the displayDropdown method is private, the methods which
call it (downArrowButton_buttonDownHandler & keyDownHandler) are
both protected.
You can override these 2 methods and have them call a new private
method which can mimic the behaviour of displayDropdown along with
the new functionality you want to add.
Hope this helps,
Tibor.

I'm want to make a ComboBox on which I can force the dropdown
menu to go up or down. It should be a simple matter of adding a
variable and changing the way the displayDropdown method works.
I tried extending the ComboBox and overriding the displayDropdown
method but I can't do that since the method is private.
How can I do this with my own class ? I feel like I'm missing
something basic here.....
I'm using Flex 3.2.0 SDK
Thanks!
