I have somewhat of a headache when it comes to instances of MovieClips
that haven't appeared on the timeline, and hence have not been
instanciated yet...
I try to keep as much code as possible on one frame on the _root
timeline, or preferably, in an external class file for a movie clip that
contains all content (that I usually call main_mc and that resides on
the _root level of the movie).
My problem comes down to that much of the code is dealing with defining
code for different events for movie clips in my movie. But a lot of
these movie clips have not yet appeared on the timeline when the movie
start, and when the constructor for main_mc is run.
Please don't tell me to create the movie clips programatically. This is
not possible, since my movies are heavy with graphics and animation, and
I have to be able to place things on the stage.
I have solved this problem with some hacks: like putting one instance on
the stage, but outside the visible area. Or turning the visibility off
with code, and then on when it should be visible. But all this is
cumbersome and makes me think it is easier to put some code inside movie
clips, than going to lengths trying to make this work.
I am grateful for any help I can get regarding this!
Regards,
/Johan Nyberg
