Just to make your life simpler.
You do not instantiate a class; you instantiate an instance(object) of
a class. A class is only a definition and is stored in Flash as a
definition which can be instantiated as many times as required. The
definition refers to the definitions of the classes that it needs.
Real World example:
When you buy a Chrysler PT Cruiser which is based on the Chrysler Neon
platform, they do not send you 2 cars (nor every PT Cruiser). You just
get an instance of the PT Cruiser but you can use the Neon maintenance
manual for some of the procedures. When you are changing the oil using
the Neon manual, a Neon does not appear in your driveway.

Makes sense. A much better system than Lingo, which takes a bit of messing
with to make it behave that way.
