[OpenLayers-Users] overwriting functions

[Kevin Kempfer]

Hi,

simple question: How can I overwrite specific functions? For example, I 
would like to overwrite OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature.downfeature() 
with my own function. Here's what I tried:
--
OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature.downFeature = function(feature){
alert('Overwritten!');
};
map = new OpenLayers.Map('map', {controls: []});
mySelect = new OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature(vectors, {onSelect: 
serialize, onUnselect: deselect,multiple: true});
map.addControl(mySelect);
--
doesn't work, second try:
--
map = new OpenLayers.Map('map', {controls: []});
mySelect = new OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature(vectors, {onSelect: 
serialize, onUnselect: deselect,multiple: true});
mySelect.downFeature = function(feature){
alert('Overwritten!');
};
map.addControl(mySelect);
--

Doesn't work, too. I think I just don't see the beginners mistake...

Thanks,

Kevin.
