*public class*, what is your role in the script action?

Question

Good people, I’m trying to learn actionscript 3.0 to understand how the source of a game works, because there is a part of the script that I can’t find a good explanation on the internet that is the public class, in the following code:

package
{
    import mx.core.BitmapAsset;

    public class §_-6Ze§ extends BitmapAsset
    {


        public function §_-6Ze§()
        {
            super();
        }
    }
}

Could you explain it to me ? All help is welcome!

Answer 1

Imagine I have the following code,

var meuBitmap:BitmapAsset = new §_-6Ze§();

I can only do this without having syntax error because:

• §_-6Ze§ is of the Bitmapasset type
• §_-6Ze§ is a public class
• §_-6Ze§ has a public standard builder

If a class is public, anyone can inherit from this class, no matter what the point in the code.

If a constructor is public and the class to which it belongs is public, anyone can instantiate that class with that constructor.

If a method is public and the class to which it belongs is public, any instance of that class can call this method public.

In his example, in the standard constructor of§_-6Ze§, there is a reserved word, which is super. It refers to the mother class of the current class. The () the following demonstrate a call to the standard parent constructor.
