I've come from a smalltalk background (not that it is useful for
anything anymore) which has to be one of the most anal OOP environments
there is...
in Al's example:
"you have a behavior that moves a slider around that needs the current
position data"
...Maybe your approach is still too procedural. Can the slider not
just tell the object its new position once it gets moved and have the
object calculate the new movie position from this. These kind of
discussions are hard with hypothetical examples. Its also very difficult
for us lingo OOP people because we only have half an OOP environment. If
you want to make a subclass of a text box so that you don't have to
re-invent the textbox wheel, but you want to add a few funky methods of
your own...Where do you go?
