Here is an example of this sort of thing. I have seen it over and over
again.
http://www.actionscript.com/Article/tabid/54/ArticleID/ActionScript-3-0-Display-Lists-and-Display-Object/Default.aspx
it shows the shape class and function
public class CircleShape extends Sprite
{
public function CircleShape()
But nowhere is any code for actually using this class. When I try it I get
private var myball:CircleShape;
myball=new CircleShape
Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
It would all be so much simpler if they would just show the complete
example.
