I'm going to guess that your problem is that you have declared
completeParameters() incorrectly (since it is private in your subclass
example). You need to declare it as protected or public in the parent
class is order to allow subclasses to override it. Note: it must be
declared in the parent class, even if it is has an empty implementation.

Ok, what's the context here? If this is the error, it could be that
you're not defining the method in the parent form. This is true even if
the method doesn't do anything and *must* be overridden in child
forms--most object-oriented languages provide the 'abstract' keyword to
ensure this, but ActionScript doesn't. Then specify the 'override'
keyword on child forms as I mentioned before.
If this still isn't it, can you please post the parent and child forms
for context?
