I don't spend as much time on these lists as perhaps I should.
I had to creep through this process very carefully before I could see the
logic. I'd been following the AS3 lessons in Lynda. While they include all
the basic information, they give very little instruction on the
nuts-and-bolts of interrelating Classes with graphic elements.
If there are other tutorials with more, clearer examples or lessons on the
subject, I'd love to see them.
Thanks very much, both of you.

To supplement Nathan's answer:
I think the common thing that is tricky to note for people transitioning
from AS2 to AS3:
Your library objects with 'Linkage' are now AS3 Classes that (with the
default setting) extend MovieClip.
You need to instantiate this new class to create an instance of your
linked
symbol.

First you are not importing your mybox class correctly. Second, the
external class should start with a capital ("MyBoxx.as"). Third, your
declaration of the instance is incorrect for how you have it setup.
import myBoxxflash;
var myBoxx:MyBoxx = new MyBoxx();
addChild(myBoxx);
Your external class needs some work as well. I would read up on some
tutorials on how to implement external Classes.

I don't understand why this doesn't work...
I have a MovieClip, "myClass.fla", with one symbol in the library,
"myBox_mc".
Frame 1 of "myClass.fla" has the following actions:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var myBoxx:MovieClip = MovieClip("myBox_mc");
addChild(myBoxx);
The symbol is exported for ActionScript. Its class remains "myBox_mc".
Its
base class has been changed to "myBoxx". The classPath has been properly
configured and ends in the "classes" folder. "myBoxx.as" is in this
folder.
The contents of "myBoxx.as" are:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class myBoxx extends MovieClip
{
public function myBoxx(m:MovieClip)
{
trace("09myBoxx parent "+this.parent);
var dmc:MovieClip = m.MovieClip("myBox_mc");
m.addChild(dmc);
}
}
}
When I run this, I get:"Symbol "myBox_mc" error #1023 No default
construtor found in base class myBoxx.
I can't find any other example, or any lesson that tells me what's wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
- Paul
