What am I doing wrong?
You can't call new Background_mc() when it's an instance of Class -
there's no constructor for it that the compiler recognizes.
My suggestion if you don't need to extend UIMovieClip is as follows.
In your Library.fla file, check your export for the Background_mc
symbol.
Give it a class name (com.something.myBackground) and have it extend
flash.display.MovieClip.
Export an SWC of the Library file and then set your compiler prefs to
include that SWC into the project.
Then, in your class just do:
import com.something.myBackground
and the usage is:
private var myBG : MovieClip;
private var Background_mc:MovieClip;
myBG = MovieClip( new Background_mc() );
At least, that's one way of doing it. I do it that way for non-
component UI elements that do not need to extend UIMovieClip. Also
because I use the same SWC as an SWF file for CSS embedding of
graphical elements.
good luck,
jon
