Classes are unaware of the timeline they are imported into. So you need
to pass a reference. Also, wouldn't make sense to me to do an extends
on MovieClip if you are going to refer to another clip altogether. So
instead of that, pass a reference to the timeline through your
constructor function:
class Linker {
function Linker(target_mc:MovieClip) {
trace(target_mc.theClip);
}
}
var myLinker:Linker = new Linker(this)
however, (and I don't know what your class will be for) if you DO want
to extend MovieClip, then set that class as the class in the movie
clip's linkage properties in the library.
