Hi Sebastian,
When extending the MovieClip Class in AS2, there is no way to access the
constructor. All initializations should be done, like Matthias Dittgen
mentionned with the optional initObject argument of
attachMovie(libraryID, instanceName, depth, initObject)
That way you set all the properties that you need before the onLoad() of
your Class. Don't forget that it's a MovieClip and in AS2 it's instances
are not handled the same way as other Classes and has it's own rules :)
You should read on the MovieClip Class, it's all there

If it is a movie clip you want to instantiate then you have to use:
_root.attachMovie(libraryID, instanceName, depth);
The class associated with it will construct and the onLoad event will
trigger if it is being listened to.
this indeed works, but then i can't pass any values to the constructor.
Is there any way to attachMovie and at the same time pass values to it?
I supose I can always refer to it afterwards on the time line and call a
custom function... but it would be nice to use the constructor's
functionality.
I had hoped I could generate new instances just by calling a constructor
instead of attaching it to something; but i guess logically i it needs
to be
attached to be "on the timeline". Correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks!
Seb.
