Razorberry’s Adobe Flash Blog

All this new functionality is a lot to take in at the moment, but I noticed something new about the DisplayObjectContainer class (which is inherited by MovieClip). In particular the addChild and removeChild methods which replace the traditional attachMovie.

Does this mean that you can remove a movie clip from one target and place it in another without losing the MovieClip’s state?

Theres lots of cool new stuff, and not enough time outside of work to look at it all!

With the upcoming release of Flash Player 8.5, I wonder if the Flash developer community will be able to unlock it’s secrets before the Flash 9 alpha, just like they did with Flash player 8. Or did Macromedia go to the trouble of hiding or disabling the new AS3 goodness?

Just a thought.
