Ian, thanks for the solution you posted.  It should work perfectly for me.

Boon,
   You're quite correct - however the solution I posted will work. It lets
you use the class in all cases like a normal MovieClip object.

No thats no a problem, you can do like this:

public function set _x(value:Number):Void {
mc._x = value;
}

Thanks Janis.  The problem with doing it  below is that you cannot change _x, 
_y directly on the mc like you can  with a regular movieclip.
  
  var b = new myButton();
  b._x = 200; <-- won't work

Thats done like this:
class myButton {
private var mc:MovieClip;
function myButton(host:MovieClip, level:Number){
mc= host.createEmptyMovieClip("myButton"+level, level);
}
}
In this case all drawing is done by variable mc.

2005-11-23 Thread Janis Radins 
I'm doing this all the time I've made tonns of different inputs fro
diferent projects and finally I am planing to code some fullscale AS2
only UI collection.

Thats done like this:
class myButton {
private var mc:MovieClip;
function myButton(host:MovieClip, level:Number){
mc= host.createEmptyMovieClip("myButton"+level, level);
}
}
In this case all drawing is done by variable mc.

Oops, last line should be:

var button:MyButton=MyButton(myTimeline.attachMovie(MyButton.symbolName,
"somRandomButton",
myTimeline.getNextHighestDepth()));

Assuming myTimeline is whatever you're trying to attach the button to...

2005-11-23 Thread Ian Thomas 
Hi Boon,
  Can't remember where I got this solution - definitely not mine - but
here's how to create a MovieClip-derived class that doesn't need an
associated library symbol:
--
class net.something.MyButton extends MovieClip
{
static var symbolName:String = "__Packages.net.something.MyButton ";
static var symbolOwner:Function = MyButton;

public function MyButton()
{
}

static var symbolLinked=Object.registerClass(symbolName, symbolOwner);
}
--
To create it, use attachMovie:

import net.something.MyButton;

var button:MyButton=MyButton(myTimeline.attachMovie(MyButton.symbolName,

"somRandomButton",getNextHighestDepth()));

HTH,
  Ian
