Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Having MovieClip behaviours in a class..
Hi,
If you are extending a movie-clip, why can't you just draw in there??
e.g.
class DrawBox extends MovieClip {
public function drawBox() {
beginFill(0xFF0000,100);
moveTo(0,0);
lineTo(100,0);
lineTo(100,100);
lineTo(0,100);
lineTo(0,0);
endFill();
}
}
attachMovie("DrawBox", "myBox", 1);
myBox.drawBox();
myBox._y = ...
