In the scenario above, the class will be linked to the clip in the library
and instantiated automatically when you create an instance of the clip.
OR you create a wrapping class, meaning you first have to instantiate the
clip yourself and then go something like:
var myForm:MyForm = new MyForm (_root.myForm_mc);
The example becomes slightly different then, using a constructor;
public function MyForm (formRef:MovieClip) {
btClose_mc = formRef.btClose_mc;
btClose_mc.onPress = ... etc
}
Don't mind the lack of code conventions at this point, I dont have that much
time :)
