Brilliant, thanks for all the replies, this kind of advice is just what I was after. I have a reasonable understanding of OOP regarding Flash but didn?t want to pick up any ?bad? habits that might work in AS 2 but might hinder me migrating to another ?stricter? environment in the future. Like Rob I often relapse into a procedural style and would like to learn best practises even if I don?t create a class for every clip I ever add to the stage, it seems better to learn the rules and then see where you can breaking them, than the other way around. It?s good to hear the approaches people use in their projects and their general thoughts on oop in general. Once again thanks. Paul
