Hi,

I created a Jing video to describe my problem (I'm hoping this is helpful and not annoying, let me know). In short, I'm not sure how external AS3 scripts are supposed to referenced, though I did get it to work in AS2 years ago.

ActionScript

Correct answer kglad

create a movieclip button in the flash authoring environment and have your current sprite entending class extend the movieclip class.

in as3, you can:

1. assign a document class (in the properties panel for the stage)

2. use an import statement and "new" constructor

3. assign a class to a library asset (by clicking linkage, ticking export for actionscript and assigning the class) and add that asset to a timeline/frame that plays.

Ok, that begs another question.The object in question is already a simple button. The script I'm trying to bring in extends sprite. The object is called blue_button and is already linked to a class called BlueRolloverButton (currently extending SimpleButton), and the external script is called AnimatedClip and extends Sprite. How do I combine the two? Or don't I? I just want to inlclude some of the methods in AnimatedClip, not really instantiate anything in it.

EDIT: Thanks, BTW
