OOP extends issue

Hey
I’m not super familiar with doing things purely OOP style, so this might seem like an obvious answer to an obvious question for many of you.

I’m basically making a video-player with some extra shenanigans.

So I have my BasePlayer.as class, which holds all the stuff for my accual stream. Volume, progress, buffertime, the list goes on and on.

I then have my FlvPlayer.as class which extends my BasePlayer class, and initializes the stream. From here I can manage the video I’m playing thorough play pause volume commands.

What I would like now is to be able to extend my FlvPlayer.as class so I, for instance, could make a muteSound.as class and call for volume = 0;

But how do I extend my FlvPlayer without having to construct a new FlvPlayer thorough muteSound.as every time.

Basically my question is, how do I extend my FlvPlayer.as class in a lot of different of command-like classes (mostly buttons with graphic) that passes on commands to BasePlayer.as when my FlvPlayer is the one who constructs everything, like so:


public class FlvPlayer extends BasePlayer

public function FlvPlayer(a_width : Number, a_height : Number) {
     super(a_width, a_height);
     initialize();
}
