custom property with custom event- a quick way?

[itsallgood]

AS3 has taken a lot of the fun out of making flash games. It used to be just about "hacking" something together -- and it "just worked".

Now you have to know the "correct" way to do something - just to get the game to run.

I've been working with AS2 for years - and have never heard of a constructor! LOL. Yes, i'm sure my code is terrible - but it used to be great just to make a game, without thinking if i was doing it right.

Sorry for all the questions 5TonsOfFlax -- please would you mind looking at my code and letting me know if what i have done is ok.

The reason i have done it like this is -- i can make lots of games just by changing the fla file -- and i never have to change the classes.

I can add as many or change names of movieclips that the class can access -- without passing the whole stage to the class.

What do you think? Is that ok? is it ok to call a dispatchEvent every 10 in a timer?

Thanks again for the help.
