But one issue that sometimes puzzles me is how to accurately reference the class anywhere in a class. If you are sub-classing a Movieclip, then technically speaking, using 'this' references the MovieClip, not the class, am I correct?
Yes; that's why you can't use "this" in static methods. It always refers to an instance of a class. Generally the only way to reference an instance's class is directly; e.g., referencing "MovieClip" itself. You could also set up an instance or a static variable that refers to the class. In AS2.0, this would be of type "Function". -- T.
