I’m basically making a platforming game, and the platforms are exported into one class. There are currently 2 instances of the platform symbol in a movieclip which is the level. How would I load up the platforms class where it loads all the instances of the platform and load them into an array during the process?

This is the constructor of the class:

public function PlatformTest()  
{  
\_top = GetTop();  
\_bottom = GetBottom();  
\_left = GetLeft();  
\_right = GetRight();  
\_platformList[\_getSet.ListCntr] = this;  
\_getSet.ListCntr++;  
}

I have private functions to get the x and y values for collision pruposes, and it loads into an array and is incremented by one. Is this the correct way of doing it?
