Is this the place to talk about AS3? If not, where would be?
The concept of any movieClip be a class is very powerfull, given the ability to do new ClassName to create a copy of any clip. But the Auto Generated class and the fact that you can´t have two movieclips with the same class is something that is limiting flash capabilities. Example: I have a A world map where each country is a movieclip. And every one will have the same behavior. Before flash 9, what I did is assign a class called Country to each movie clip. This way, I can easy update the behavior of all at the same time. With Flash 9, I can´t assign a class with the same name and can´t specify a base class to the Auto Generated extends. My suggestion is to do something like this: http://neves.bs2.com.br/flex/preview.jpg When ask for AutoGenerate, a check box would enable an different base class, and I would write on the textbox. So a movieClip called Brazil, would have a autoGenerated class called Brazil that extends the class Country, witch would be my base class. I´m shure no one can deny that this feature is essential. _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
