A TimelineManager Class

For an upcoming project, during planning, I came to realize that in order to get some of the effects to happen I’d need a way to know all of the current MovieClips being used in a given section of the web site.

I figure the best way to do this is to create a Class for it and let it handle registering the clips. The functionality is pretty basic with the Class able to register a MovieClip and return all the MovieClips being used up until a given point in time or access a single MovieClip.

Unfortunately I don’t really know how to implement this idea. I’ve pulled it off using index numbers but that wasn’t for MovieClips. For this I’d like to be able to access any MovieClip that has been registered already by a name, like a String maybe.

If anybody has an idea to get me started, sample code, or just a cool tutorial that will get me going I’d appreciate it.
