Thanks for that info. I'm not really sure about how things work internally, besides some vague references to "traits" the documentation doesn't help too much - can you redefine member methods on a particular instance?
What I mean is this: var foo : Foo = new Foo(); foo.bar(); // Does something foo.bar = function() : void { doOtherStuff() }; foo.bar(); // Does something else -J On Tue, Apr 29, 2008 at 10:14 AM, Gordon Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I think there is additional overhead in calling an anonymous function > (i.e., your 'var foo:Function = ' case). > > > > And I don't think that the rules for what 'this' is, when the function > executes, are the same. > > > > Gordon Smith > > Adobe Flex SDK Team > > > ------------------------------ > > *From:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *On > Behalf Of *Josh McDonald > *Sent:* Monday, April 28, 2008 4:58 PM > *To:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > *Subject:* Re: [flexcoders] Advanced(?)

I assume you can call Bar.foo() in both cases, and foo > shows up as a variable in describeType() in the second instance?
