[Flashcoders] Attach sub class to swf which is loaded via attachMovie()?
Just curious if it is possible to extend/apply a sub class to a swf which is loaded via attachMovie()?

Same idea if you're working with Actionscript 2.0

Excellent! Many many many thanks Yehia and EKA... I have not had any luck finding examples on the www... both examples will be great for me to learn from. :D Thanks again!

You're welcome Micky
EKA,
I've been really confused by the garbage collection and how it sometimes
sits their coldly not doing the job ! I read somewhere the garbage
collection won't fire unless the application is in a still state. In an
application, that I had some interval process happening, the garbage
collection never worked and the memory usage kept going up. I've watched a
presentation by G Skinner, read some articles, but never found a way to fire
that garbage collector other than minimizing the application (and that works
in IE, it doesnt with firefox). So its an act of anxiety ! Can you point us
to links where the garbage collection work ?, Perhaps with a new message
Thanks for your comment,
Yehia

the __proto__ solution is a good solution :

function Square()

this.draw() ;

Square.prototype.__proto__ = MovieClip.prototype ;

@Yehia Shouman : your delete in your changeColorTo method is useless
because all local variables with a var in a method is remove by the
Garbage
collector at the end of the call function.

Re: [Flashcoders] Attach sub class to swf which is loaded via attachMovie()?
Hello :)
a delete in a function failed to destroy a variable ;)
My french article about this subject :
http://www.ekameleon.net/blog/index.php?2006/06/10/34--as-ssas-delete-un-peu-capricieux
Used google translator or bablefish if you want read my article in english
(sorry .. i speak english very bad...)
delete method returns false if the variable isn't clear on memory (protected
with a ASSetPropFlags or if the variable is undefined too)
function test() {
var a = 1 ;
trace( a : + a) ; // a : 1
trace(i remove the variable 'a' : + delete(a)) ; // output false
trace( a : + a) ; // a : 1 // the value isn't deleted !
}
trace(++ delete sur une variable dans une fonction) ;
test() ;
.. you can read some good articles about Garbage collector (in FP8 and FP9
the garbage is better...)
