Re: [Objectscript-users] Calling function from "inherited" object

Hi Arjen,

it is possible, despite no "super" keyword...  since functions are  
just objects, you can save a private reference to the overridden  
function before you override it, like:


   private var super_someMethod = someMethod;
   public function someMethod( a, b, c )
   {
     super_someMethod( a, b, c );
     ...
   }

if you make the saved "super_someMethod" a private variable, it will  
not conflict with a same named variable in a parent or derived  
class.  If it were public/protected, it could be overriding a  
"super_someMethod" from a parent class, or be overridden by a derived  
class.
