Alternative way of instanciating a class without a library and without the
__Package hack either.
Create a class with this function:
function attachClassMovie(parentmc:MovieClip, className:Function,
instanceName:String, depth:Number, argv:Array):MovieClip
{
// Create emptyMovieClip
var
Hi Julian,
They do return references.
You just have to cast them to the correct type.
e.g. var clip:MyClip=MyClip(attachMovie(SymbolName,instanceName,depth));
HTH,

Hi Julian,
Now I've had my first cup of coffee I'll try to explain it more clearly. :-)
In most cases AS2 works very similarly to Java in terms of
inheritance, instantiation and casting and the like - the only main
gotcha is that the class casting operator is MyClass(x) rather than
(MyClass)x
That's great Ian — thanks for the help! Each of those little idioms
makes sense when described — I never would've figured these out just
whacking at various permutations, particularly the very baroque
incantation leveraging the invisible symbol names.
I guess I should be looking forward to

One other thing occurred to me on this topic, that might actually
save the trouble of using a hash table, which AS direly needs.
Is there a way to summon forth a class that's been instantiated in
any of the ways described below, by name?
In other words, if I've done this:

(To be clear - Object isn't quite the equivalent of HashMap, as you
can't natively specify hash codes etc. etc. But for many purposes, it
serves the same uses.)

Alan,
Thanks - that gives me a different approach to try out that sounds
very promising.

Ian,
Those casting gymnastics definitely help — thanks a lot.

Okay, here's the drill.
I have a MovieClip — call it FooA — that's been linked to an AS2
class — call it FooA_Class — (that extends MovieClip and does lots of
other useful things.)
In that MovieClip, I have another MovieClip — SubFooA — that's been
exported and given a proper instance
Hey Julian,
I feel your pain. Take a look at this example:

Thanks Mike! So, this magic of turning a named instance into the name
of the instance variable gets carried to its logical, but somewhat
weird, conclusion.

Hi Julian,
You were nearly there with:
Object.registerClass(mFooA, FooA);
var aObject:FooA_Class = _root.attachMovie(FooA, FooA, 1);
Just change it to:
Object.registerClass(mFooA, FooA);
var aObject:FooA_Class = FooA_Class(_root.attachMovie(FooA, FooA, 1));
(as Class(x) is the equivalent of
Whoops, sorry, missed your extra 'm' on 'mFooA' (not sure why that
crept in there?):
Object.registerClass(FooA, FooA);
var aObject:FooA_Class = _root.attachMovie(FooA, FooA, 1);

Yeah, I think it gets worse. I'm used to a pattern where you create a
