I'm not a big fan of using Object.registerClass(). I find it creates a dependency between code and art assets that can be problematic. If your MovieClip is changed, your won't be able to instantiate anymore. Another problem with registerClass() is that it makes it difficult to change the source of the movie clip. For example, if I decide I'd like to load an external SWF instead of attaching a clip from the library, my class won't work anymore.
Like Jason, I use containment most of the time to encapsulate movie clips. On 9/20/06, slangeberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
