RE: [Flashcoders] Object.registerClass ...
Together with "__Packages" you can also use Object.registerClass to bind a
class to a dynamically created movieclip. If used in conjunction with a
static create method you can make creating extended movieclip instances real
easy...
// MyClass.as
class com.misuseit.MyClass extends MovieClip
{
public static var LINKAGE_ID:String =
"__Packages.com.misuseit.MyClass";
public static var SYMBOL_OWNER:Function = MyClass;
public static var SYMBOL_LINKED:Boolean =
Object.registerClass( LINKAGE_ID, SYMBOL_OWNER );
private static var $nextId:Number = 0;
public static function create( parent:MovieClip, name:String,
depth:Number, init:Object ) :MyClass
{
var mc:MovieClip;
name= name || "MyClass" + ( $nextId++ );
depth = depth || parent.getNextHighestDepth();
mc = parent.attachMovie( LINKAGE_ID, name, depth, init
);
return MyClass( mc );
}
}
// To instantiate on a timeline
var myClip:MovieClip;
myClip = MyClass.create( this );

Stephen.
Object.registerClass is used all the time in AS2 to connect library
objects to implementing classes - so it's definitely relevant.
Essentially, you use Object.registerClass to tell the system what type of
class should be associated with a clip when it is attached via
attachMovie(). It's the same as specifying the linkage in the linkage
dialog, but is done dynamically in the code (and therefore it's possible to
attach the same symbol as different classes, if you need to - it's also
handy if your library is supplied by a graphic designer who isn't informed
enough to insert the appropriate linkages.)

Ian

Re: [Flashcoders] Object.registerClass ...
Object.registerClass is the dynamic version of connecting a movieclip in your library with an external class. As far as i know, internally there is no other way, methods are bound to an object. you should look for the keyword "prototyp" and you will gain a wider knowledge :) Stephen Ford schrieb: Is Object.registerClass no longer relevant when using AS2 and OOP structure.I understand AS2 class structure, inheritance, etc but am trying to understand how it was done in AS1 and if I need to know any of the techniques used before AS2.Thanks.___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Patrick, Take a look at this entry in the wiki: http://www.osflash.org/flashcoders/as2#creating_a_class_instance_based_on_movieclip_without_a_symbol_in_the_library It's almost certainly what you're trying to do.
