Why doesn't flash have this feature? That sounds like an excellent way to control vectors...
I will go ahead and argue that the MovieClip has too much functionality, the API is too big now. There should be a Vector class which with the MovieClip class composes vector graphic interactivity, like the MovieClip/bitmapData class composition. This way, the MovieClip class would handle the complex of time, and the Vector class the complex of space. I would even argue that the interactivity should be assigned to a seperate class. You could then use the interactivity class (basically, Mouse/Key class) with the vector class to compose static, vector based websites, or bitmap based websites using Flash. If you decide to incorporate MovieClips into your composition, then you could incorporate animations. This would even give more meaning to components. This would seem to complicate things, but given the proper categorization, I find that it would simplify through complexity. Ok enough of my rambling. M.
