Well, the example in the blog explained it a lot, though it is in Actionscript 2.0.
And yes, I wont need Interfaces unless I really feel like I HAVE to use them. In my project I have some Panels (screens) in the fla Library and each one of them is linked to a Class (linkage). Each class or Panel extends an abstract Class called APanel that extends MovieClip. The APanel Class contains some features that I need to be shared to all the other Panels. In the Main class, I managed how to switch them, based on the application flow and navigation. I use some navigation buttons that slide them to the right or to the left of the stage. Till here everything worked fine. But at a certain point I found some problematic issues. I also need the panels to slide when a certain button is pressed in one of them. Of course the function I used in the Main Class to slide the Panels away, wouldn't be available to the other classes unless I set them to be static, so I could write: Main.SlideLeft(); Fine. But to make the function static, I'd put in consideration some other things like turning some of the Main Class Properties used in the function to static. And that is a problem because library variables cannot be declared static. So I think that the use of an interface somewhere would solve the problem.
