Example: I've drawn a 50x50 red square in the Flash IDE, and converted it to a new "MovieClip", giving it a name of "Box". I've then selected "Export for Actionscript", at which point said clip is given the default "Base Class" of: flash.display.MovieClip
So I then create a Class file, Box.as. Within this Class definition, I use the following: public class Box extends Sprite So my question: Is the compiler now using Sprite as the Base Class for my Box class (as per the Class definition) or is it still using MovieClip (as per the IDE)? So the short version: What is the correlation between a clip's Base Class within the IDE and the Class which it extends (if any) within it's Class definition (if defined/created). Cheers, Stephen._______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
