+ Stubbing
+ --------
+ 
+ If you are in the beginning stages of implementing a standard SWF
+ control from the MSDN docs its probably a good idea to begin by stubbing
+ all non-inherited methods, events, and properties.
+ 
+ During this process if there are some methods your not sure what to do
+ with, just call its matching base class method.
+ 
+ One case we found this to be a problem was the CreateHandle() method
+ from some controls, if you stub it but don't call the base class method
+ it makes your control not work as expected.
+ 
+ Then later on as you go implementing events and such you may encounter
+ the reasons as to why these methods were overriden and you can do what
+ you want there.
