This will hold a reference to the original DisplayObject and concat the matrices up to the stage if you call concatenatedMatrix. The JITB implementation adds some special methods to the Transform class in such cases. Those methods are always prefixed with JITB$ if they are public. Another interesting fact is that you can modify the appearance of a DisplayObject by setting the matrix of the Transform object. This also has to change the scale, x, y and rotation values of the DisplayObject. There are a dozen of souch cases. Graphics would be an obvious candidate to talk about.

SymbolClass makes the connection between that class and the image character. I have been working on exactly that (as3abc to the rescue), but i'm not there yet. I discuss similar things (just with sound) <a href="http://wiki.github.com/claus/as3swf/play-mp3-directly-from-bytearray" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

I'm now using it and it really helps me. I have one question not related to shapes by SymbolClass. I want to create SWF on the fly which add images into swf with proper SymbolClass. I'm using swfAssist for generating it and your as3swf for comparing my generated SWF and swf from FLASH IDE to check for differences. Now i'm able to add SymbloClass to swf, but i'm not able to get that image with loaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition. Only difference is line [82:DoABC] Lazy: true, Length: 185 between [35:DefineBitsJPEG3] and [76:SymbolClass], which is probably generating class for that image. Do you know if there is way to create such proper symbolClass to be able to load that asset later from swf? I hope I was clear what I want to achieve. franto Hi Claus, great post and great wok on as3swf. I’m now using it and it really helps me. I have one question not related to shapes by SymbolClass.

Thus if you make your shape really really small, you likely run into rounding errors.
