Hi there…

Okay just quick shoot…here…ok just curiousity here…from my digging and reading I know that we can’t override constructor…but might possiblity can be achieve…so I really need some shed on light from expertise people or some ideas how to achieve it…here’s the my portions curiousity…

```auto

//let's say

class TestClass{
    var __a:String;
    var __b:Number

//==================constructor==============
    function TestClass(a:String){
       __a = a;
    }

    function TestClass(b:Number){
      __b = b;
    }
//==================constructor==============

}

```

//my curiosity is how to override constructor I mean give an options to me in order to to string params or numbers param2 either…

```auto

eg;

var test:TestClass = new TestClass("test");

var test:TestClass = new TestClass(2);

```

It is because my goal purposely wanna rectifying what of the datatype parameters being passing inside the class whether string or number…that’s all is it possible…???  
Any help are really appreciated
