Thanks Mike But was wondering if you could ellaborate. What I am trying to do is to use the decorataor pattern to decorate Charts (or any other UI component for that matter), so that a user could select say chart data effects, chart filter types at runtime.
So I set upon using abstract/concrete decorators/decorated classes but I am struggling. Sounds like I am missing something obvious from your comments, so again I would appreciate any further comments or examples.

Are you talking about decorating UIComponents? There are many uses for decorators but none at all. :) That is a pattern that sometimes is not needed with UIComponents. I would suggest getting familiar with creating tight public interface types.

The one in this book I have tried but doesn't seem to work. Without initially posting my code has anyone out there got a tried and tested AS3 decorator pattern example I could look at?
