[quote]So how do you initialize your components just like a class? [/quote]

I don’t inherit with:
blah.prototype = new MovieClip()

and I block the constructor to be called from Object.registerClass with ASNew()

then I declare a setter in the MovieClip.prototype which gonna instantiate the “special” class

that way I can instanciate class linked to librarie movieclip that way:

setRect( “myRect”, 0, 0, 100, 200 );

passing directly the arguments to the constructors in 1 line,
no attachMovie, init method or other non-logical stuff

Naw… mine is readble…
Compare to this lol…

var test1;
for(;test1 == null; test1 = 1);
trace(test1);

var test2= 1;
for(;test2 == null; test2 = 1);
trace(test2);

But let’s say foo already equals “bar”. If that’s the case, there is no point for the else statement, or is there?

Either way, I love how concise this is getting. Micro-coding… rock.

Btw… You could write:
if ( foo == null ) foo = bar; else foo = foo;

in 1 line too =)
