This was a case of stripping down a class that worked to make the example
smaller and easier for you all, then accidentally stripping out a necessary
detail. Here's a different stripped down and tested version, different
because I'm actually working with an mc not a string:
package
{
import
Hi susan,
In the 'other package' try:
import Star;
var myStar:Star = new Star();
addChild(myStar);
---
Why are you getting the error? .. because you are trying to cast 'nothing'
as a Star. Because Flash can't cast 'nothing' it tells you it's missing an
argument.

Star();
Again Susan, as others have said, you're still just calling Star().
What you need to do in your other class is call
var myStar:Star = new Star();
addChild(myStar);
By calling new Star(), the constructor function (the Star() function
inside your Star class) is called automatically and
Why can I (seemingly) not do:
parentSprite.addChildAt(childSprite,6);
seems like I can only do:
parentSprite.addChild(childSprite)
or
addChildAt(childSprite,6);

You should in theory be able to do to mc.addChildAt(childmc,6), so
there's a problem elsewhere in how you're doing it. Are you getting
error messages?

Does your parent sprite have 6 displayobjects in it? If the 6th position is not
available, you can't add it to that layer.
If it works when adding to the stage, you must have atleast 6 displayobjects on
the stage.

On occasion, I've had to write code like this:
parentSprite[addChildAt](childSprite,6);

Hi;
Now I would like to call my class Star from another class, but pass
different values to its variables. Do I need to implement the inheriting
class as Star? I'm kinda lost here. I've been googling as3 oop but the
tutorials don't seem to address my needs. Can you help me understand what it
is
Hi Susan,
I wouldn't recommend relying just on online tutorials, or discussion posts
for a something as huge as learning AS3 OOP. The best thing would be to get
a book that covers the subject, such as Colin Moock's Essential ActionScript
3.0 from O'Reilly, or any one of the other excellent books

No need for inheritance then, just give your Star class the desired
parameters in the constructor, e.g
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Star extends MovieClip
{
public function Star(lineColor:uint, fillColor:uint)
{
I guess so. I'm not happy to delve into a new programming language before
I've read an entire book from cover to cover. Yes, even bricks :) I've got
all the Moock-books and some cook-books and a whole lot of other books...

Gosh. We can all learn something from a good book, no matter how
accomplished we are.
You might have learned something new

I'm going to start another thread on this, a bit OT. What are the best books
for learning OOP?
TIA,

I've been doing some component development and have seen some posts for MXI
creators / editors. I can't seem to find the right words for Google to actually
locate one.
Any help?
If this is off-topic and there's a better place to ask. let me know.
