Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Programmatically instantiating a class thatextends MovieClip
There's a really light class called Prototype which is free to download at
http://codext.com/code/9. It does the same thing except with full
constructor support. It also has a really simple/clean API:
mc = createEmptyMovieClip("mc", 1);
Prototype.makeInstanceof(mc, MyMovieClipClass);
thats it! I've loved it ... works on extending other elements too, like
TextFields or _root (I use that one constantly).

Then use in your code:
var mClip:MovieClip = MovieFactory.createMC(_root,"test",MyClass);

RE: [Flashcoders] Re: Programmatically instantiating a class thatextends MovieClip
I've tested the following a while ago and it works perfectly.
It uses the acme ClassUtilities class.
MovieFactory:
import com.acme.ClassUtilities;
class nl.debit.util.MovieFactory {
private static var instance : MovieFactory;
public static function getInstance() : MovieFactory
{
if (instance == null)
instance = new MovieFactory();
return instance;
}
private function MovieFactory()
{
ClassUtilities.registerPackage();
}
public static function
createMC(target:MovieClip,id:String,className:Function):MovieClip
{
if (instance == null)
instance = new MovieFactory();
if(!className.symbolLinked)
{
var classPath:String = ClassUtilities.getPath(className);
className.symbolName = "__Packages." + classPath;
className.symbolLinked =
Object.registerClass(className.symbolName,className);
}
return
target.attachMovie(className.symbolName,id,target.getNextHighestDepth());
}
}
MyClass:
class MyClass extends MovieClip{
public function MyClass() {
beginFill(0x00);
moveTo(0,0);
lineTo(100,0);
lineTo(100,100);
lineTo(0,100);
lineTo(0,0);
endFill();
}
}
Then use in your code:
var mClip:MovieClip = MovieFactory.createMC(_root,"test",MyClass);
