Creating Inheritance In Actionscript 1.0 - MACROMEDIA FLASH 8-LEARNING ACTIONSCRIPT 2.0 IN FLASH Manual

This step registers the symbol whose linkage identifier is
. All instances of
myClipClass
defined in step 4. They also behave the same as all instances of the MovieClip class
because you told the new class to inherit from the class MovieClip in step 3.
The complete code is shown in the following example:
function myClipClass(){}
myClipClass.prototype = new MovieClip();
myClipClass.prototype.onLoad = function(){
trace("movie clip loaded");
}
myClipClass.prototype.onPress = function(){
trace("pressed");
}
myClipClass.prototype.onEnterFrame = function(){
trace("movie clip entered frame");
}
myClipClass.prototype.myfunction = function(){
trace("myfunction called");
}
Object.registerClass("myclipID",myClipClass);
this.attachMovie("myclipID","clipName",3);

Many Flash users can greatly benefit from using ActionScript 2.0, especially with
complex applications. For information on using ActionScript 2.0, see

Inheritance is a means of organizing, extending, and reusing functionality. Subclasses inherit
properties and methods from superclasses, and add their own specialized properties and

MountainBike and Tricycle would be subclasses of the superclass. Both subclasses contain, or
inherit, the methods and properties of the superclass (for example,
has its own properties and methods that extend the superclass (for example, the
MountainBike subclass would have a
