extends MovieClip ??

[CharlesFK]

How can I recreate the

classname.prototype = new MovieClip();

in AS2.0 ??


Lot of people seems to do this

class className extends MovieClip
{
    var m_mc:MovieClip;

     function className (_mc:MovieClip)
     {
          m_mc = _mc;
     }
}

but this isn't right since MovieClip actions need to be apply to the m_mc member instead of the class itself making the "extends MovieClip" useless.

Is there a way for a class to really inherits from movieclip ??

Hi,

you could use something like this,

code:

---

class ClassName extends MovieClip {

    function ClassName() {

        // use some methods inherited from MovieClip

        // draw a line using the drawing API

        this.lineStyle(1, 0x000000, 100);

        this.moveTo(0, 0);

        this.lineTo(100, 100);

    }

}

---

you can now associate a movie clip with this class either using Object.registerClass (as in MX) or by filling in the AS2 class name field in the linkage properties for the clip,

code:

---

Object.registerClass("myClip", ClassName);

this.attachMovie("myClip", "myNewClip", 1); // myNewClip contains the line drawn using the drawing API
