Create class for imported SWC elements

Question

I have imported a SWC into my actionscript project. It includes many different movieclips that I can access in my project. My question is this: How can I create a custom AS3 class that I can use to add functions and properties to my movieclips?

For example I have a movieclip with a linkage name of LevelButton. I tried creating a class that was the same name but they didn't seem to go together.

Thanks,

Answer 1

I was able to accomplish this by generating the .SWC with proper linkage names on my movieclip. Then in my application I created a class that extending the movieclip.

ie. Movieclip with linkage name: MyMovieclip_mc

then my application class:

public class MyMovieclip extends MyMovieclip_mc
{
    ...
}
