I am trying to extend the new AutoComplete component from Adobe. In two different places I need to bypass the AutoComplete methods and get right at the ComboBox methods.

I was told that super.super.someMethod() works just like it does in Java. But I keep getting Compiler errors:[INDENT]_1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before super._  
[/INDENT]Any suggestions other than just cutting and pasting the code and extending the AutoComplete superClass?
