[PUP100]

I have been having some trouble with the “registerClass” function for making homemade objects inherit the properties & methods of movie clips.

Below (verbatim) is the code I have been using from an example in a reference book, which would not appear to work. I have tried placing the code in the first keyframe of the main timeline, in the first keyframe of the symbols timeline & on the symbol itself but with no success.

Just to make sure I have set everything up correctly – I first created a symbol & used the linkage option in that window to set the symbol name & (by default) the linkage identifier to symbolID I chose both the default options for linkage – Export for action script & export in First frame & as mentioned above tried the register class script in a few keyframes. I have tried it with just the symbol on stage & with the symbol + instances on stage but nothing doing.

Any help please.

ORIGINAL CODE

function MyClass(){}
MyClass.prototype= new MovieClip();
MyClass.prototype.onEnterFrame=function() {this_x++;}
Object.registerClass("symbolID",MyClass);
