Hello :)
it's easy, you must use __proto__
AS2 - MyClass extend MovieClip !!!
MyClass extends MovieClip {
// o Constructor
public function MyClass() {
}
}
var mc = createEmptyMovieClip(myInstance, 1) ;
mc.__proto__ == MyClass.prototype ;
MyClass.call(mc) ;
EKA + :)
For the record... I think I finally figured out what the problem was
with my FLV.
It turns out to have less to do with Tweening functions and more to
do with the fact that the NetStream class hates to be instantiated
into a local variable.

If this is the compatibilty we can expect for the new player.
Anyone finding broken content?
Yes we have a problem with LoadVars.send and getURL.
Looks like installing the Player 9 makes some changes into the security
