This example makes me wonder: If I was to write this in AS2, it would probably look like:
.... class Game extends MovieClip { public function Game(){ var gameworld:MovieClip = new createEmptyMovieClip("gameworld_mc",getNextHighestDepth()); //new GameWorld()? var game_bg:MovieClip = gameworld.createEmptyMovieClip("game_bg_mc", gameworld.getNextHighestDepth()); } I wouldn't have access to addChild in AS2, how does that addChild actually work in AS3? Are Child movieclips that are added still independent? For example, if I was to add two time the Background movieclip to the gameworld movieclip in AS3. Take for example: ... var game_bg:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); gameworld.addChild( game_bg ); gameworld.addChild( game_bg ); ... What would happen if I affected game_bg _width or _height? How does this go?

I'm reading the AS3 reference trying to get accustomed to the idea, but some things (though they look better) i don't really get right away :) Hence my feeling of incredible stupidity. I realise the AS3 in the reference is Flex-related, but in Flash IDE terms, how would i do something like this in AS3: var baseClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("gameworld",1); var backGround = baseClip.createEmptyMovieClip("game_bg",1); I get how much more practical myClip = new MovieClip(); looks, but i don't get how i connect a clip created this way with the traditional clip hierarchy. Is that out the window as well? The reference describes |DisplayObjectContainer.addChild(), but i'm guessing this doesnt really count for how it'll work in the Flash IDE? Any helpful hints at what the future holds? :) | - Andreas _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
