Hello :) Use this code :
var pv:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip( "pixViewer", 180); pv.__proto__ = PixViewer.prototype ; // change inherit PixViewer.call( pv ) ; // launch the constructor over the new instance. PS1 : i uppercase the first character of your class.. is a better notation if you respect the ECMAScript/ActionScript notation ;) PS2 : In my opensource framework you can use the class ConstructorUtil : http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/vegas/AS2/trunk/src/vegas/util/ConstructorUtil.as you can use now the method createVisualInstance : {{{ import vegas.util.ConstructorUtil ; var pv:PixViewer = ConstructrorUtil.createVisualInstance( PixViewer , createEmptyMovieClip( "pixViewer", 180) , { _x : 25 , _y : 25 } ) ; }}} or you can use my vegas.util.factory.DisplayFactory class : http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/vegas/AS2/trunk/src/vegas/util/factory/DisplayFactory.as Examples : 1 - with movieclip : import vegas.util.factory.DisplayFactory ; var pv:PixViewer = DisplayFactory .createChild( PixViewer , "pixViewer", 180 , this , { _x : 25 , _y : 25 } ) ; 2 - with textfield : import vegas.util.factory.DisplayFactory ; var myField:CustomTextField = DisplayFactory .createChild( CustomTextField , "myField", 180 , this , { _width : 400 , _height : 150 } ) ; PS : This class can change to the depth of all visual instances in AS2 (Video, TextField, MovieClip in the Stage or your code) More information about my framework : http://code.google.com/p/vegas/ http://code.google.com/p/vegas/wiki/InstallVEGASwithSVN EKA+ :) 2008/4/25 Mendelsohn, Michael <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi list... > > I have a class (pixViewer extends MovieClip) and an empty MovieClip > (linkage:emptyMC, not registered to any class in the linkage dialog).
