I’m making a project that will include a index class “main document class” that will makes a catalog from a catalog class that will hold a group of items from a items class. Each item that the catalog class makes will have a number of properties such as "name, ID, color, type, date and so … ". The catalog class will show as a list of thumbnails on the stage, each thumbnail will have properties of that item in the catalog with events.
Simply put if you don’t already know I’m making a catalog but, what data type should I use for the items that will be visible on stage with a image and a lot of properties? Sprite, movieClip or may even just a plain old object?
I really want to make this a stricter OOP project so that I may utilize AS3’s stronger points. That and I 'm really new to this so I think I better learn it now.
