My friend recently said, that you should find some way without "CustomEvent" if you wanna follow OOPs strictly. Is this true ? Is this the reason, that such class is not provided by Adobe natively ? In many of my projects, i find it impossible to communicate without being able to send information via parameters. Is using "CustomEvent" like thing, a breach into OOP rules.

In Flash CSn/AS3 you associate a Main class with a flash file which when loaded in the flash player "automatically creates an instance of the program's main class."I'd like to know how to pass arguments to the main class, since you don't write it yourself (you put its name in the Document textfield in the IDE).

I'm creating a slideshow where each slide can have:- a video or a still- 1 audio track or many (up to 3)- 1 button or many (up to 3)I was thinking that each slide can be it's own object, and then I would pass the video, audio, buttons, etc., into it as parameters:

There is a library component represented by Class A. But constructor of this class requires some parameters. When the component needs to be added dynamically, it's fine because of code :
var abc:A = new A(param1,param2)
But what if my movieclip is already present on the stage. I notice it gives out error, that the parameters are null.
Is their any way to insert constructor parameters for movieclips already on stage.

I saw in some projects that ppl has their own "Debug class".So, instead of typing: trace("look at this!") you type Debug.trace("look at this!").The only advantaje I saw was that you can disable every single trace call with a single parameter in the Debug class.. but, thats all.

So I have a movieclip that I want to play nice with my class file. So I set the linkage and all that and it works. But, my initialization function gets called with no parameters, because I have not set any. How do I do that with this method?
I've tried something like:
Code:
import tab;
tab1_mc = new tab("left", 5, 55, "testclip.swf", 0);
And that sets the parameters, but not before the linkage on the MovieClip fires. how to get the best of both worlds?
I am wanted to know how can i pass a parameter to the function which I'm calling using Delegate class. I know to pass params having static values such as true / false or a static string "hello".
Code:

myFunc.str = "hello";
function releaseHandler()

Here str can be retrieved as 'arguments.caller.str' inside the function.But in case i want to pass the reference of the 'btn' button. Then how can i do this ?
I've got a main.as that loads SWF to the stage. the loaded SWF seppoused to pass a link to the main.as and trigger a javascript function to popUp that photo from that link.
I know there are two ways:
((root as MovieClip).parent.parent as Object).somefunction(parameters);
and to dispatch an event. inorder to pass parameters throug the event i need to extend it with another class.
isnt the (root as... ) more efficient if all i need is to pass a link?
