if you want the class to actually do the creating of the clip you should:
[CODE]
import com.bushidodeep.*;
var myHello:Hello = new Hello(this);
[/CODE]
[CODE]
/**
A Simple hello class
that assigns a custom
message to a text field
based upon time of day.
**/
class com.bushidodeep.Hello {
private var width:Number;
private var height:Number;
private static var textFieldDepth:Number = 0;
public static var message:String = "Hello It's Me";
// Movie clip that will contain visual
// elements of the hello.
private var container_mc:MovieClip;
//
public function Hello(target:MovieClip) {
container_mc = target.createEmptyMovieClip("blah", 1);
displayGreeting();
}
private function placeGreeting() {
}
private function displayGreeting() {
container_mc.createTextField("messageText",
textFieldDepth, 200, 100, 250, 125);
container_mc.messageText.text = "test";
container_mc.messageText.border = true;
}
}
Hi,
This worked on the FLA timeline test is displayed in the textField,
but shouldn't this functionality be in the class?
Respectfully,
Chris

Hi,
Thanks for the prompt response. When I create the Hello object on
the AS timeline, nothing is rendered to screen.
[CODE]
import com.bushidodeep.*;
var myHello:Hello = new Hello();
[/CODE]
[CODE]
/**
A Simple hello class
that assigns a custom
message to a text field
based upon time of day.
**/
class com.bushidodeep.Hello {
private var width:Number;
private var height:Number;
private static var textFieldDepth:Number = 0;
public static var message:String = "Hello It's Me";
// Movie clip that will contain visual
// elements of the hello.
private var container_mc:MovieClip;
//
public function Hello(target:MovieClip) {
container_mc = target.createEmptyMovieClip
("messageDisplay", 1);
container_mc.displayGreeting();
}
private function placeGreeting() {
}
private function displayGreeting() {
container_mc.createTextField("messageText",
textFieldDepth, 200, 100, 250, 125);
container_mc.messageText.text = "test";
container_mc.messageText.border = true;
}
}
[/CODE]

Hi,
I attempting to create a mc, then attach a textField via
composition, instead of extending the movieClip class. Could
someone point out what I missed?
