I have a class named Drag with a static function create.

When I upload a movie to a server via ftp,

Just a correction, the problem goes with trying to view the uploaded

you dont 'delay' the return function, just consider that each invocation

also, it assumes that each node has only one child,
Will you only be creating one type of object? or multiple types?
If its just one, then myFactory.getDrag() can create and return the

If you're using Flash 8 you can use the DisplacementMapFilter to do that
effect. So far you can't write text on a path in Flash, unlile
Illustrator or other vector based apps.
you can see an example at this french blog:
If class A's constructor calls class A's main(), and class A's main()
calls class A's myFunction(), what happens if class B extends A,
overrides myFunction(), and then calls super() ?
Is the overridden myFunction called or the original?

What you want is to take a snapshot of the MC on the stage right ?
