This is just blue-sky guessing, but why not use prototype.
class Base {
updateDisplayList:Void() { /* some good code */}
}
class Child {
updateDisplayList:Void() {
// hundreds of lines of useless code
}
}
class Grandchild {
Grandchild() {
Grandchild.prototype.updateDisplayList =
Base.prototype.updateDisplayList;
}
}

super.updateDisplayList, when in reality I just want to run the code in
grandParent.updateDisplayList.
EXACTLY!
Forgive my nativity but is there no way to hack the required
functionality into the super class or something higher that it
inherits from? This kind of thing went on all the time with AS1.
