strange, because independent testing of each swf (container not loading submovie) shows that both are pointing to the version of the class that i am updating. meaning, the updated trace statements are coming thru. the problem, however, seems to be that when both swfs import that class, and

Really must be coming in from somewhere else. Shared library? It's not a cached version of either/both the .swfs that you're testing in a browser or anything like that? Copy it all (without the .swfs) to a new folder or new machine, and try a rebuild - if you still get the same behaviour,

I've tried both ways, and generally prefer to subclass MovieClip. Both approaches do have their advantages, though, at least in AS 1.0 and 2.0. But in AS3.0, there's no benefit at all to the composition method. You can declare new movie clips without attaching them to any timeline--they just
