[flexcoders] Re: how do I prevent users from accessing my super extened class?

Wed, 03 May 2006 13:18:22 -0700

If I understand what you are saying, the Final keyword will be on the
"thumbCount" property, so preventing anyone from over loading it as I
am trying to do?

That makes sense...

Thanks for the help
