From what I read, the single biggest thing a Java programmer has to understand about Flash MX OOP is that, like JavaScript, Flash is a [i]prototype based language[/i], NOT a [i]class based language[/i]. 2004 may be different, as it now contains an actual "Class" statement. Lott's custom method getNewDepth() [b]extends[/b] the MovieClip prototype, and thus any new movie clip inherits the new method. You can extend any of the built in classes by addressing its prototype, Math for example (lots of Penner examples available). You can just as easily extend a custom class, and you can even assign a custom class to inherit from another in its constructor (although beyond this inheritance gets quite technical): [code]MyShape.prototype = new MovieClip();[/code] and prototype can be used to add methods to a custom class: [code]MyShape.prototype.getArea = function { //insert code for the method };[/code] [url=http://proto.layer51.com/default.aspx]layer 51[/url] has an extensive collection of prototypes you might want to study.
