I would suggest implementing interfaces, as a good practice:
interface ISpeakable
{
function speak();
}
class myClass implements ISpeakable
{
function speak() {}
}
this lets you pass around instances that implement your interface and to
change behaviors at runtime, such as:
class TestClass
{
private var speaker:ISpeakable;
public function setSpeaker( spkr:ISpeakable ) {
speaker = spkr;
}
}
Not sure it's close to what you're looking for, but can be good practice in
large apps.

No, don't delete anything. Why not use method overwriting?
class myBaseClass(){
function speak(){
trace("greeting)
}
}
class myHelloClass extends myBaseClass{
function speak(){
trace("Hello")
}
}
class myWhatsUpClass extends myBaseClass{
function speak(){
trace("What's Up?")
}
}
then create instances of the ones you want to use
