Sounds like you are negating the whole purpose of classes.
How about a little reengineering of the buttons. Build your single class and have multiple instances of the button on screen. Part of the class would be to load in the proper animation MC for display. Thus you have the single class that is applied to all buttons and each button has an independent animation associated with it. Or if you wanted, you could do as you listed in your first e-mail and extend a single base class and make specialized classes for each button. But again, that is sort of defeating the purpose of classes and OOP. Charles P. On 3/12/07, Andrei Thomaz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
hello Janis, the problem is that I don't want several instances of same symbol in the stage. Imagine a menu for the sections of a site: you have a button, with some animations, for each section. So, I cann't use several instances of a same symbol. What I want, and what it was done with AS 2, was to have a symbol for each button, and associate the symbols with the same class, what, I am afraid, it is not possible in AS 3. What I am doing is similar with the buttons in Gugga framework (you can read about the buttons in GuggaFF here, http://www.gugga.com/flashblog/) []'s andrei On 3/12/07, Janis Radins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Create simgle clas definition which holds functionality of your "selection > state" and add several instances of same class to stage > > 2007/3/11, Andrei Thomaz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > > hello list, > > > > With AS2, I could associate the same class with several movieclips.
