In the library, right click on the symbol , click on Linkage. There select the checkbox Export for ActionScript. Give a name (gf) in the class field, flash will autogenerate a class for you with that name

Now on timeline do this

var myGf = new gf()
this.addChild(myGf)

this is equivalent to attachMovie

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] as3 and attachmovie


OK. I am trying to learn how to use classes and have had some success
- But what I just can't seem to grasp in this situation is if I use
this:

var newMC=new MovieClip();
this.addChild(newMC);

instead of this:
attachmovie("gf","gf"+_root.getNextHighestDepth(),_root.getNextHighestDepth

How do I select "gf" as the movieclip to be added to the stage?


Thanks.

Carl,

Everything in AS3 is classes, so you can't do anything without using
classes.
It's actually easier than attachmovie. Just make a

var newMC=new MovieClip();
this.addChild(newMC);

feels alot cleaner that
attachmovie("gf","gf"+_root.getNextHighestDepth(),_root.getNextHighestDepth());
doesn't it ;).

good luck!

ps. you can checkout senocular.com , he has some excellent tutorials on AS3
