Thank you for this detailed explanation. The confusion for me is that attachMovie creates an instance of the object with the new name given--that's what the documentation and all the examples say. But that name is not known to the flex compiler, so you can't do this:
_root.attachMovie(objFromLibrary, "newObjInst"); newObjInst.getSomeProperty(); Flex says it doesn't know what newObjInst is. >From the two URLs you sent me, it looks like this is where Object.registerClass comes in? You've put me on the right track, but I'm still not quite there...any additional explanation or an example would be great! We're not in any hurry to move to Flex 2. We'll wait and see how it goes. > and none of the above should you care about unless > you're nostalgic or an f'n geek. . . . or you're trying to embed images in one SWF and access them from another.
