Awesome talk!

I can’t seem to find the flex framework to sift through. Can you link me to a download please?

Thanks!

Thanks for posting the video. One thing I’ve run into a lot is that I’d like to subclass a component from the mx framework, and override one function (take extend TabBar and override TabBar.createNavItem for example). That works fine, but rather than call super.createNavItem, I want to call ToggleButtonBar.createNavItem (something like super.super.createNavItem) I need to do this because the TabBar.createNavItem has side-effects that I can’t undo and then it calls super.createNavItem (and I can’t just cut and paste createNavItem from ToggleButtonBar, because it uses super.createNavItem too!)

The only thing I can think of is copying the entire TabBar class, as opposed to sub-classing it.

I tried calling ToggleButtonBar::createNavItem and ToggleButtonBar.createNavItem – but neither of those compiled…
