Sprite in AS3 ???

[jayatfkit]

Hi All,

I heard a new term called "Sprite" in As3. Is it a new display object [like Movieclip, buttons, etc..]?

Could anyone explain me in a simpler way ?

Expecting your reponses

I don't have any formal education here, but by my understanding a Sprite is essentially a MovieClip sans timeline. You can do anything you can with a MovieClip with a Sprite, drag, fills, loads, etc, but there's no timeline, so goto() commands and the like no workie.

I've used them and seen them used for loading images, drawing shapes, etc.

so a Movieclip without timeline is called a sprite.

Thanks to explain me in a more simpler way......

I will read more about this!
