Hey everyone,
I can't seem to figure out how to duplicate a sprite in AS3. Thanks to
various tutorials online, I got so far as to take the constructor of the
sprite I want to duplicate and instantiate a new one.
var targetClass:Class = (stamp as Object).constructor;
mStamp = new targetClass() as Sprite;
This works in normal situations. However, the sprite I'm getting are
SWF's loaded at runtime. If I trace a normal asset's constructor it
will trace as [Object myasset], but no matter what I do, my externally
loaded SWF's constructors all trace as [Object MovieClip] or [Object
AVM1Movie].
So of course creating a new instance of the constructor will result in a
blank, fresh-made movieclip.
Basically my external SWFs are just some graphics on stage in one
frame. I've tried setting the document class, and publishing as Flash
8, 9, Actionscript 2, Actionscript 3, and nothing changes. I'm not
using Flash CS3 yet, just the AS3 Alpha for making assets and then
compiling with Flex 2 SDK.
Anyone?
Thanks!
ben
