So I am trying to figure out the following piece of code:
-
<pre>in Application.as
import Log;
class Application
{
private var _log:Log; // force mtasc to compile Log.as
function Application(createdBy)
{
// Re-assigment of _root to Application instance
createdBy.__proto__ = this.__proto__;
createdBy.__constructor__ = Application;
this = createdBy;
setup();
}
public function setup()
{
TRACE("hello world");
}
public static function main(createdBy:MovieClip)
{
var app = new Application(createdBy);
}
}; // end of class</pre>
found here:

So far I have been recommended to read the following article:
http://www.quantumwave.com/flash/inheritance.html
The article well covers the subject of inheritance in Flash 5 and MX. My only concern is that as the article points out using inheritance in this way it will be only an overload to the application.
