alright so i want to extend the sprite class, but i don’t want the extended class to have a diffent name, so i can go

var myBob:sprite = new Sprite();  
myBob.functionIadded();

i know you can do this with prototypes, but i don’t think you can use prototypes in classes. if you can use prototypes in classes could you tell me, or tell me another work around.
