In your case you're creating differently named movie clips, and
explicitly assigning them to the mc variable.
In the original code, a new movie clip was attached with the same

You can try MOUSE_MOVE and trace mouseX and mouseY and it will give you your

hi
just a semantic question really
when writing your classes, would you only declare variables in the
class and assign variables later or would you assign values straight
away if you had them?
so for instance, would you...:
package com.receptacle.timeline
{
//package imports
Actually, I've seen that the values are often set quicker when
initilaised in the contructor rather than against class members , but I
think it looks tidier the way you've done it... imo

Not sure if this is correct for AS3, but I was under the impression that
there was an actual performance penalty to doing things the first way

Still, I like doing things the 2nd way, if only

Either way to me is a non-issue.
However, it is an issue if I want to implement lazy instantiation. That
is, instantiating objects only right before you need them.

An Array is a linear collection. A Hash is a random access collection
(lookup table) of name-value pairs.
Dictionary is a fancy Hash that can take an Object as a key, instead of
a String, and uses strict (===) equality for its lookups.
hash = new Object();
hash.foo = bar;
array = new

Keys in an Array can be numeric, strings, or both:

The best use for them is to be able to find something you've stored by

Lazy Instantiation is an irrelevant argument when you're instantiating

Maybe I missed something, but instance2 in your example has no data. Only
static members can be shared across all instances - did you mean...
class MyClass
{
private static var myArray:Array = new Array();
public function addItem(item:Object)
{
MyClass.myArray.push(item);
}
Yes, you might be missed something, Jesse. I got the same result as
Muzak did.
// ActionScript 2.0
// frame action:
var instance1:MyClass = new MyClass();
var instance2:MyClass = new MyClass();
instance1.addItem(Hello World);
trace(instance1.data); // Output: Hello World
I agree with Steven. You may want to put your variable declarations in
another function when they either get suuuper messy or you need more data
(ie. stage.stageWidth).
Going back to style... typically I like to run an INIT() in the constructor
and then break down the tasks into INIT_name(). It
