Thanks IV I do not want to create the boiler movie clips as these are already on the stage.
Basically I want to be able to control a nested movie clip within each boiler, that is called "needle_mc" And I want the boiler object to store unique properties for each of the boilers. Your code looks very complex for my requirements - can I not simply dynamically create the boiler movie clip path reference and pass it to the boiler instance similar to how I passed the path to the Game class?
