Hi Matt,
AS3 is slightly different.
You need to say:
private var fullScreen_mc:MovieClip = getChildByName("fullscreen");
Note that the reference (fullscreen_mc) can't be the same as the name on
the stage ("fullscreen"). Also in AS3 you can actually set instance
variables outside of functions.
I'm quite new to AS3 so I'd be interested if there's another way to do
this. I haven't really worked out a good naming convention for this yet
either - anyone have any ideas?
