I am building a form based data driven application using Flash MX 2004 Professional and would like to create all my TextInput components using a subclass of the standard Flash TextInput. I have found many examples of subclassing a MovieClip component but none showing how to subclass other components.
The basic idea is that my application will have around 300 text input components. If I can create these by subclassing the Flash TextInput, if I ever want to change the back color, font color, etc for all the input components, I can do it by modifying the subclass only. I also want to build security at the individual text input level so having them all instantiated from a common subclass would make this much easier to maintain. Anybody know of a tutorial online that shows this or can give me some pointers?
Thx!
