No, that didn't work. Actually, I'm doing this within a non-movieclip extended class, so the syntax is like this:
clip_mc.createClassObject(List, "listText_lst", clip.getNextHighestDepth() ); clip_mc.listText_lst.setSize(550, 150); clip_mc.listText_lst.move(listText.x+50, listText.y+50); But that doesn't work either. Would it make a difference if this is happening outside a movieclip class? In the documentation, it does say that that the UIObject class "wraps" the MovieClip class - so I'm wondering if that is the problem. The createClassObject method does not come up in the code hinting for the MovieClip class either. Perhaps the method does not exist in the plain old MovieClip class?
