Hi -

I am trying to extend a built in class, but cannot seem to get my
subclass methods called.

class movObj extends SWFMovie {
function init() {
echo("init");
}
}

$m = new movObj();
$m->init();

Gives:::
Fatal error: Call to undefined method SWFMovie::init() ...

This method call i would have hoped would pass up to the baseclass.

But if I add a constructor to my own subclass, the init method can be
called. BUT i can now not call any of the SWFMovie methods. Like, it
is not really extending the built in class, or there is no hierarchy.

I messed with various versiosn of trying to call the super myself:

parent::method
$this->parent->method()

without much success.

Is this a limitation of phps classes? We cannot subclass built in types
(perhaps they were built/not compatible with php5 object model)?

thanks!
