Where should I place an edited containers class?

I would like to modify an Accordion class to suit my needs.

Instead of simply extending Accordion, I would like to copy and paste the whole class as a start, with the new class name "MyAccordion", into the src folder; to gain the maximum freedom(I assume).

However, several problems encountered. For the "include "../core/Version.as";" error, I had solved by replacing it with a explicit Version static const string. But for the problems lead by the inheritance, e.g. AccordionHeader, etc, I found that there would be too many files to be edited when going down the stream. I suspect I mis-understand the whole logic of editing the class.

Would anyone give me some help? May开发者_JAVA百科 be some reference for me to read, or even just some keywords for me to search. Thanks in advance.

Well - for all the reasons your discovering, you actually don't have flexibility when leveraging "boilerplate" code like this. Use Extend and Override to properly modify existing classes:

package com.yourSite.src
{
    public class Foo
    {
         public function Foo
         { 
         }

         public function foo():void
         {
            trace("foo");
         }
     }
}


package com.yourSite.src
{
     public class Bar extends Foo
     {

          public function Bar
          {

          }

          override public function foo():void
          {
              trace("bar");
           }
      }
}

So, write a class that Extends Accordion, and override anything that you want to work differently. Any other functionality you may need can be added as required. OOP 101 :D
