Hi, you can put classes in an swf and use the swf as a dll. It's a hassle but its doable.
You load the swf in a specific frame, the swf only contains classes and they become available from that frame onwards. Again, im not sure if you should do this if the only reason is that you'd rather write the preloader in as2 instead of as1. It's a great opportunity to hack timelime as1 you know and nowadays those chances are slim:)) greetz JC On Tue, Feb 12, 2008 at 4:21 PM, Glen Pike <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > Don't think you can do this - I think all classes (code) are > exported to the same frame, but your movieclips can be distributed along > the timeline so you gain something there.
