Another Useful, Reusable AS3 Class, "Expander"

My interest in Flash started mostly because of a Jib-Jab cartoon ("This Land") in 2004. I'm the author of a feature I call "Mazoons," which are a combination of mazes and cartoons. In 2002, I even had a book published, "Super Silly Mazes." I'm not a professional programmer, but making my mazes interactive by programming them with Flash has become a hobby/obsession of mine in recent years. My efforts so far can be seen at http://www.mazoons.com/Flash_mazes.htm.

I admit it: the "lorem ipsum" text in the expanded MovieClip's message isn't all that exciting. But the effect is cool, and  you'll just have to imagine your own text and/or images in place of the lorem ipsum stuff, because it's just an ordinary Movie Clip, and you can put into it whatever you want:

    Thanks a lot for these 2 tutorials - for those that can code in AS2 but don't have much of a clue about OOP & good coding practice, this is the perfect primer. Very clear explanations of the basics. Good work!
