I have a class hierarchy of classes as follows:
MyBaseTextInput extends TextInput
{
override public function set text(value:String):void
{
// my base code here
}
}
MySpecialTextInput extends MyBaseTextInput
{
override public function set text(value:String):void
{
// my special code here
}
}
Okay, in MySpecialTextInput I am overriding the set text function and
NOT calling super.text = value; So, why when I have
MySpecialTextInput on an mxml view does the set text in
MyBaseTextInput get called? This is causing me to copy/paste the code
from MyBaseInputText into MySpecialTextInput, modifying as needed, and
then have MySpecialTextInput extend TextInput instead of
MyBaseTextInput. I REALLY HATE COPY/PASTE PROGRAMMING!
Can someone please shed some light on why the super class function is
being called even when I'm not calling super?
Thanks,
Dale
