This might seem like a dumb question, but are you calling super() in the
constructor of the class that extends MovieClip? Is the class public?

Thanks bob for the suggestion.... I guess I still having a little bit of
issue tyeing both of the classes together... For example I have this...
ClassA = DocumentClass
ClassB = CustomXMLLoaderClass extends EventDispatcher
ClassC = CustomIMGLoaderClass extends MovieClip
ClassA.addDispatcher(ClassB) which then fires when the XML items I need are
completed,
Following your suggestion then I did a simple "addEventListener" on the
document class....
ClassA.addEventListener(ClassC) but for some reason ClassB never hears Class
C when images are done loading
I can of course extend ClassC from the EventDispatcher and I will get the
same results as I am doing with ClassB but then I am not able to add the
newly loaded Images to the stage with "addChild" since the compiler whines
that its not a DisplayObject which makes sense since it is inherited from
the EventDispatcher....
Thanks again....

Hi Helmut,
The MovieClip inheritance chain looks like this:
MovieClip -> Sprite <../../flash/display/Sprite.html> ->
DisplayObjectContainer <../../flash/display/DisplayObjectContainer.html>
-> InteractiveObject <../../flash/display/InteractiveObject.html> ->
DisplayObject <../../flash/display/DisplayObject.html> ->
EventDispatcher <../../flash/events/EventDispatcher.html> -> Object.
<../../Object.html>
Any class you write that extends MovieClip also inherits the ability to
dispatch events.

Hi All,
While creating a custom class I am trying to figure out a way to add the
preloaded images at the same time as to dispatch an event to a different
class when the images have loaded.
of course I know that I cant extend a class to an EventDispatcher and to
a
MovieClip at the same time so I have to choose one, If I extend to an
EventDispatcher then I cant add the clip when the images are preloaded.
If I
extend to a MovieClip then I cant Dispatch custom events to other
listeners.. I was thinking of creating an Interface for the Event
Dispatcher
and then for the MovieClip once that is done then I could implement both
interfaces but I dont think this is the right approach....
Any suggestions are welcome,
Helmut
