No. You would have to create wrappers for all three methods. It sounds like you should be using Inheritance instead of Composition if you're overriding that many methods...
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Helmut Granda Sent: Friday, June 08, 2007 12:40 PM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Composition access One more question while in Composition mode lets say I have my main class Main -method1 (calls method2) -method2 (calls method3) -method3 With Inheritance I could do Copy -method2 (calls method3 of Main) When instantiating Copy it would know to use method1, and method3 from original while using method2 from the copy. Is there a way to achieve the same issue with composition? So far thanks to the explanation above I can access the methods of Main from a Copy instantiation but cant access methods of Copy from Main when needed. I might be approaching this all wrong which might be the main issue :( TIA On 6/8/07, Helmut Granda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > hey David, > > your suggestion works perfectly, it was my implementation that was > breaking the code. > > Thanks again. > -h > > On 6/8/07, Helmut Granda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Thanks David, > > > > For some odd reason if I do in my coopy > > > > public function init():Void > > { > > trace("init in copy class"); > > } > > > > it wont fire but it will fire the init method from the Original Class > > (which by the way seem very similar to inheritance :) ).... any ideas why > > this could be happening? > > > > Thanks again... > > > > On 6/8/07, David Ngo < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > You'd basically create a 'wrapper' method: > > > > > > class CopyClass { > > > > > > private var original:OriginalClass; > > > private var mc:MovieClip; > > > > > > public function CopyClass(mc:MovieClip) > > > { > > > this.mc = mc; > > > original = new OriginalClass(mc); > > > } > > > > > > public function init():Void > > > { > > > original.init (); > > > } > > > } > > > > > > > > > It's almost like calling super.
