Hi All,

this is what im trying to implement:  
“Sound instance will dispatch an event each second it plays; Event type: SoundEvent; Event name: SOUND\_POSITION\_UPDATE”.

I want this to be dispatched by the instance of the Sound class.

I figure i can extend Sound class and add the behavior, but it seems too much of fuzz considering i need to call the new class different name (not ‘Sound’). Id still love to use the ‘Sound’ class in my projects. When i change namespace there is problem:  
class Sound extends Sound \<- not possible,  
and if i just create like another class to check for change in Sound instance and dispatchEvent each time it reached next second, that means creating another class to listen to (which i dont want).

Can i use some kind of Proxy maybe to add this Timer/dispatcher functionality into built-in Sound class itself?  
Or simply what’s your best take to accomplish simply the above in flash?

thanks
