@Andy:
Yes, your method is mentioned in the current thread about "Override
_xscale and _yscale setter in AS2 " as follows:
"Don't use extending. Use composition..." :-)
But you have always to write wrappers for the usual MovieClip methods
or you have to offer a reference to the MovieClip you're using in your
composition:
class Something
{
private var mc:MovieClip; // not shared
public function attachMovie(...) {
mc.attachMovie(...); // wrap method
}
}
or:
class Something
{
public var mc:MovieClip; // share mc
}
@Ian:
Yes I do prefer the static create method by myself, but I always have
to write the "individual" create method. I thought, I could perhaps
leave this out. But I learned in another thread about FDT that Eclipse
offers class templates. I use ASDT/Flashout, so I'll check, if this
applies to my workflow, too.
Thank you both!

*sigh* The line:
return MyClip(ClipUtils.createCodeClip(" com.mycompany
,MyClip",parent,initObj,depth,inst));
should of course have read:
return MyClip(ClipUtils.createCodeClip("com.mycompany.MyClip
",parent,initObj,depth,inst));
Sorry!
