After a bit of research on the topic, it seems the only way i can create an instance of a class that extends MovieClip is attachMovie or by actually placing the movie clip with the associated class on the stage.
what i want to know is - does anyone know another way to do it?
is there possibly a way to extend the MovieClip class in such a way that i can create an instance using the usual
var myClassObject:myClass = new myClass(possibly the x and y coordinates);
so that it places a movie clip on the stage, and also allows me to use properties like myClassObject._x and methods like myClassObject.loadMovie straight up seeing as myClassObject extends the MovieClip class?
anyone AS2 gurus know if this is possible? :alien2:
