Stephen. Object.registerClass is used all the time in AS2 to connect library objects to implementing classes - so it's definitely relevant.
Essentially, you use Object.registerClass to tell the system what type of class should be associated with a clip when it is attached via attachMovie(). It's the same as specifying the linkage in the linkage dialog, but is done dynamically in the code (and therefore it's possible to attach the same symbol as different classes, if you need to - it's also handy if your library is supplied by a graphic designer who isn't informed enough to insert the appropriate linkages.)

Is Object.registerClass no longer relevant when using AS2 and OOP structure.I understand AS2 class structure, inheritance, etc but am trying to understand how it was done in AS1 and if I need to know any of the techniques used before AS2.
