Re: [flexcoders] polymorphic interfaces

i kinda walked the other way and excluyded this method from the interdface since i want each class to return its type (its a semantic argument but it hink a clone method should return the correct type and not some base type)

Hello,

This is funny becasue I was just having this problem with the Event clone() ! :)

I guess I just slammed it with a coerrsion for now.(Yeah I realize this is not an interface but it's the same idea :: you can't override a return type)

But, yeah, I second this motion for the futrue!

Peace, Mike

I think there's general agreement here that we want to do this in a future release, but that the schedule doesn't allow it for this release. There are quite a few other things that people want as well -- strongly-typed array, enums, inner classes, etc. -- but we can't open up the feature set again this late in the cycle (nearly Beta 2).

Subject: [flexcoders] polymorphic interfaces

 

hi all, especially Adobe dudes working on ze language.

the fact that method signatures are not polymorphic when implementing an interface or overriding a function is a real pain in the .... behind.
now in my interface i have to create a function as such

interface IBla
{

function clone():IBla
}

but two levels down the line when i have extended this interface with another i want my clone to return a more concrete type, and then each of my classes that implement this interface their clone methods would ideally return their own type.

yet all these classes implement IBla in some fashion either directly or indirectly so... anyway polymorphic function signatures would be nice.

thanks
johan
