[flexcoders] Flex2b2: Problem casting super to an Interface

[Tobias Patton]

Hello List:   Given the following classes and interfaces:   IInterface.as -----------------   package {             import flash.util.trace;                 public interface IInterface             {                         function InterfaceMethod() : void;             } }   Base.as -------------   package {             import flash.util.trace;                 public class Base implements IInterface             {                         public function InterfaceMethod() : void                         {                                               trace( "Base::InterfaceMethod" );                         }             } }   Derived.as: ---------------   package {             import flash.util.trace;                 public class Derived extends Base             {                         override public function InterfaceMethod() : void                         {                                               trace( "Derived::InterfaceMethod" );                                     IInterface( super ).InterfaceMethod();                         }                                     } }   What would you expect as the output of the following?   var derived : Derived = new Derived();                                           IInterface( derived ).InterfaceMethod();   I would expect:   Derived::InterfaceMethod Base:InterfaceMethod   But instead I get:   Derived::InterfaceMethod Derived::InterfaceMethod Derived::InterfaceMethod Derived::InterfaceMethod ... (repeats for ever)   It seems the the cast: IInterface( super ) is returning ‘this’ and not the base object for ‘this’. Is this a bug, or am I misunderstanding something. (Please note that I’m a C++ programmer and have had little exposure to Java-style interfaces, so I could be making a very naïve mistake and not know it.)   Tobias.
