I want to extend the FileReference class of Flex to contain a custom property. I want to do this because AS3 doesn't let me pass arguments to functions through event listeners, which makes me feel sad, so I need this property to exist on the event target, so I can access it.

In all the languages that I understand this is not possible but someone was telling me it was possible in C++ but I have a hard time believing it.

I want to extended, not just create a new instance of a class I have sitting in my vendors directory. I googled and read the docs but I see no support for it. Can I do an app import of the 3rd party class, then write up the extended class followed by a component that will use my child class? i.e /* vendors/yahooapi/yahoo.class.php */...
I'm presently working on a project in Dashcode, and am getting increasingly frustrated at how the default classes have very little in the way of bind-able events much like jQuery uses.
