Hi,
ActionScript doesn't support method overloading. Instead you can use
following approach.
function sayHello()
{
var n:Number = arguments.length;
if(n==0)
{
alert("Hello World");
}
else if(n==1)
{
alert("Hello " + arguments[0]);
}
else if(n==2)
{
alert("Hello " + arguments[0] + " " + arguments[1]);
}
}
//usage:
sayHello();
sayHello("Abdul");
sayHello("Abdul", "Qabiz");
You can access individual argument using "arguments" array. You can use
typeof and instanceof to find the type of each argument and have a
switch logic to perform different algorithm for different set of
arguments.
Does that make sense?

Subject: [flexcoders] How to overload methods in Actionscript?
When I use same method name more than once (with additional
arguments), Flex compiler says I can't use the same name more than
once. Is this really true (Flex doesn't support method overloading?)
or do I need to do something different?
Thanks,
Libby
