Ha yeah, I’ve already had to do that on one occasion, and now it’s becoming the norm.

at one point, one of the guys on the team suggested we just go ahead and compile our own SWC/version of the flex library, but we ran into some issues straight away, and abandoned that for now.

Yeah the private thing has ticked me off quite a few times myself. Hopefully if enough people bring this up, we can get the framework changed. After all it is Open Sourced. However, in the meantime I have resorted to method that gets the job done but makes me feel very dirty. Just copy the component from the framework, create a new package called something like my.controls and go to town “publicizing” whatever methods you want.

Man, I can hardly look at myself in the mirror

it’s getting to the point now that I nearly can hardly justify the reasoning for anything being private in a framework like this. Everytime I turn around and think “oh no problem, I’ll just override that…” BAM – not today son! It’s locked down like ol’ farmer Jenson’s daughter.

GRRRR
