extends MovieClip

[Elena]

hi,

Let's say that I have a subclass extending the  class Movieclip... I know how to assign this new class to certain movieclip from the library -->linkage--> AS 2 class...but how can I assign this class directly with scripting from the main timeline?.

And another thing is how prototype works in AS2 since AS2 is based in classes rather than prototypes?...If I extend a class (lets say Array) , how can I call this subclass from the timeline?....

Sorry, but I'm getting really confuse

maybe you get confuse, so lets put an example:

testM.as :

Code: [Select]


class testM extends MovieClip {
    function moveme() {
      this._x += 10;
   }
}


and i want to assign this subclass to the movieclip that I have on the maintimeline with the instance name Myclip...
If  I'm going to the library-->linkage-->AS2 class: testM and in the maintime line :

Code: [Select]


Myclip.moveme()


everything works...but I want to skip the linkage part...

To add simply functionality to existing Classes you can still use prototype ... if you plan more complex behaviours, then subclassing is the choice
