There is an interesting article on the subject in the Flashcoder's Wiki
at osflash.org :
http://www.osflash.org/flashcoders/as2#creating_a_class_instance_based_on_movieclip_without_a_symbol_in_the_library
With this approach you can create a class that extends MovieClip and
then create an instance of that class without a symbol in the library. I
found it very useful and really neat ! works like a charm !

it does work in flash 8.
as for clips on the stage, it does work, you just have to give the
clip a linkage ID in the library first, and use that linkage to
register the class to it.

Does Object.registerClass() work in Flash 8 (i haven't been able to
get it
to work)? Also, does that allow you to register more than one clip
with a
class?
The documentation seems to point to using the Linkage setting for AS2:
*> Availability: *ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6 - If you are using
ActionScript 2.0 classes, you can use the ActionScript 2.0 Class
field in
the Linkage Properties or Symbol Properties dialog box to associate an
object with a class instead of using this method.
Also, I don't think it works for clips that you've dragged to the
stage:
When an instance of the specified movie clip symbol is created by
using
MovieClip.attachMovie() or MovieClip.duplicateMovieClip(), it is
registered
to the class specified by theClass

that article was only meant for assigning a class to your _root
timeline... I don't think he intended it to be used for other
movieclips in the library or on stage.
for that you could just use the linkage in the library or use
Object.registerClass()
