Let’s say I have three Interfaces with a structure as such:

> **public interface IRegular**

- public function toFull();
- public function toSlim();

**public interface IFull**

- public function toRegular();
- public function toSlim();

**public interface ISlim**

- public function toRegular();
- public function toFull();

If I recall from a few tests a while back, if I have a class that extends one of them at a time, I have no errors. However, if I use two or more of them, one of the functions will “collide” and cause an error message.

If I recall correctly and an error is thrown\*\*, what is the exact error message that Flash gives? \*\*

\*\*Why does Flash prevent this? \*\*Should Flash not be satisfied that it has all the functions it needs?

**Is there any way to tell interfaces to “work together”** , consider them almost to be the same, and not worry about conflicting names of functions?

Wohoo! While writing this, I just came up with the perfect workaround for my purposes, so don’t worry about workarounds. 😃

Sorry, I’m still without a compiler, so I can’t test for the error message myself, so any help is REALLY appreciated.
