Sorry I’m new to this so forgive me if I explain it wrong.

If you put a moviecilp on the stage and then write a class that extends movieclip, is it possible to make it so that this references inside your class refer to the movieclip on stage.

E.g. this.x would refer to the x reference of the movieclip on stage.
