Thanks, yes, I've seen that one, but, the problem as it comes is only inside constructor, the other methods seem to be OK...

Well, negative answer is also an answer...

In a nut shell:
You cannot override FP built-in classes properties (getters / setters).

EDIT: But, actually, the first link makes sense in saying that composition may be a preferred way to go about it. Somehow I always struggled against a bunch of a properties I have to deal somehow in classes extending other classes that have lots of properties the extending class doesn't need. Now as I look at it again, it makes much more sense to me... Well, if, say I need a DisplayObject-like class that only has width, height, x and y, why drag all the dozens of properties into this new class?
