Sorry for the long confusing title, but I have been looking around on [help.adobe.com](http://help.adobe.com) and other forums and making my own games and noticing that there’s a difference between =_class\_name_(…) and\* = \*new _class\_name_(…). Can anyone clear that up for me on why that matters and what the actual difference is?

Thanks in advance. :}
