ComplexComponentclass
A component object of a complex container. This class can be used as a mix-in for sub-objects of a complex container (the subContainer or subSurface) defined as nested objects.
This class is based on Component, which is suitable for complex container sub-objects because it makes them inseparable from the complex container. It’s also based on NameAsParent, which makes the object automatically use the same name (in messages) as the lexical parent object. This is usually what one wants for a sub-object of a complex container, because it makes the sub-object essentially invisible to the user by referring to the sub-object in messages as though it were the complex container itself: “The washing machine contains…”.
This class also automatically initializes our location to our lexical parent, during the pre-initialization process. Any of these that are dynamically created at run-time (using ‘new’) must have their locations set manually, because initializeLocation() won’t be called automatically in those cases.

Properties
stagingLocations
In case this component is being used to implement a nested room of some kind (a platform, booth, etc), use the complex container’s location as the staging location. Normally our staging location would be our direct container, but as with other aspects of complex containers, the container/component are meant to act as a single combined object, so we’d want to bypass the complex container and move directly between the enclosing location and ‘self’.
Methods
getIdentityObject ( )OVERRIDDEN
Get our “identity” object. We take our identity from our parent object, if we have one. Note that our identity isn’t simply our parent, but rather is our parent’s identity, recursively defined.
hideFromAll (action)OVERRIDDEN
don’t participate in ‘all’, since we’re a secret internal object
initializeLocation ( )OVERRIDDEN
