I made a simple test movie, with one MC called “Test2”.  
This MC is put in the scen with the instance name “inst1”

In the first frame I define the class:

function Effe() {  
}  
Effe.prototype = new MovieClip();  
Effe.prototype.move = function()  
{  
this.\_x += 2;  
};  
Object.registerClass(“Test2”, Effe);

on the second frame I call the “move” method:

inst1.move();

on the third frame I do:  
gotoAndPlay(2);

It should move my clip, but I have the feeling that the class is not registerd properly.

Can somebody give me some help please? I attached the FLA…
