How should I use it and when I would use it?

I got two classes

hero\_class and navigate

hero\_class is for my character  
navigate is for my character movement

how should i put the navigate for my hero\_class

Here is my current extends for the two

public class hero\_class extends MovieClip  
public class navigate extends hero\_class

is it going to meet each other?
