Herency in Director (javascript)

Sure, but it's Javascript syntax in director not in lingo.

In ecmascript (as far as i know) herency work in that way,
setting the 
prototype of an function (CLASS) to the base class.
In c++ would be:

class cclass: public cbaseclass

In javascript it's:

function cclass ()
...
cclass.prototype = new cbaseclass ();

All the functions and variables from cbaseclass are
"copied" or "instanced" 
into cclass.
I put "CSprite" and "CClipper" and the
first "C" means "class" later in the 
code i'll use something like this:

var dummyvar = new CSprite ();

> And CClipper () is just the value 0 anyway, so 'new
CClipper()' is the 
> same as 'new 0' which doesn't make any sense.

Why is 0? I don't  understand that. You mean
"null"?
CClipper it's an object, class... when i put "new"
that means a new instance 
of CClipper.

Whatever, i don't know if this's it:

class.prototype = new baseclass ();

or:

class.prototype = new baseclass;

or:

class.prototype = baseclass ();

Hum, nevermind, i think the shockwave plugin isn't good for
me. =(
I wanna cry.
