thx for the response everyone. i tried Private at the end of the method as this is how the Abstract keyword is implemented. i was super excited when it compiled... and then suddenly listed hard to the right and fell out of the sky when it didnt work :) hopefully at some point this feature will be fully implemented, but until then, onward!
my main goal was create() functions in subtypes. without method or function hiding, you cant have a create function in a subtype whose parent has a create function unless the parameters are the same. many of the subtypes im working with have a different set of parameters than the parent... but the parent still needs its create function.
