## code:

```auto

package 
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class SuperExample extends MovieClip
{
public function SuperExample()
{
var myExt:ExtenderSomeMore = new ExtenderSomeMore()
trace(myExt.thanks()); // output: Mahalo nui loa a bunch
}
}
}
 
 
class Base 
{
public function thanks():String
{
return "Mahalo";
}
}
 
class Extender extends Base
{
override public function thanks():String
{
return super.thanks() + " nui loa";
}
}
 
class ExtenderSomeMore extends Extender
{
override public function thanks():String
{
return super.thanks() + " a bunch";
}
}

```

Currently the output of the above code will be “Mahalo Nui Loa a bunch”

I want the output to be Mahalo a bunch. How can I achieve this if the only class I have access to is ExtenderSomeMore?

Thanks, Nate
