If you're not using absolute strict typing and everything that AS3 has (display, addChild, etc.), then you're gaining no benefit because Flash will just kick down to VM1.
IMO, you should either rebuild it from scratch in AS3 style (using sprites, display objects, etc.) or leave it as AS2 and save yourself the headache. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of ben gomez farrell > Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2007 11:32 AM > To: Flashcoders mailing list > Subject: [Flashcoders] Confused about accessing nested > movieclips in AS3 > > Hey everyone, I've been working with AS3 for a bit, and been > kind of avoiding this problem till now, but I've converting > an AS2 project which has some nested clips, and I'd rather > not change things! > > So basically the question is how do I access nested clips? > Before in AS2, I'd say myclip.nestedclip.othernestedclip. > > But now the problem I have is that once I get a clip on stage > I can't drill down to it's children with dot syntax.
