You should absolutely feel comfortable and fine using prototype to add functions to the String native object if you want. I say if it works, use it. Just because they skimped on String and Array methods that MOST other languages have doesn't mean you should have to write a bunch of extra code to extend the class or cast your Strings as MyStrings.
Feel free to use prototype until you move to AS3. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
