Still weirding me out. To me part of the appeal of working with movieclips
is their inherent hierarchy, which makes a kind of basic sense that's easy
to grasp.
To a Flash developer who understands Flash and has been working with it
for a long time, that's true. To anyone coming from another language or
platform, it makes no sense at all. It is also extremely limiting, and more
flexxibility at the cost of an extra line of code is a beautiful trade off
in my book.
I'm guessing part of why we're waiting til Flash 9 for this stuff is
because it doesn't make immediate sense in a Flash IDE context yet.
A movie clip is still a movie clip, but now, instead of being the basic
unit of Flash, there are smaller units, such as sprites, displayobjects,
etc. More granualrity means more control, but it also means a few extra
lines of code.
