| super "Operator" | Flash 6 |
| invoke an object's superclass constructor, or invoke a superclass's implementation of an overridden method |
A list of arguments passed to the superclass constructor function.
The superclass's implementation of an overridden method to be invoked.
The super "operator," added in Flash 6, serves two distinct object-oriented programming purposes:
It can invoke an object's superclass constructor.
It can invoke a superclass's implementation of an overridden method.
See "The super `Operator'" in Chapter 5 for many more details.
Technically, super is not a real operator in ActionScript, which is why it is presented here as the super "operator."
