Hi,
You should place the var declaration in the body of the class, but the call
to createEmptyMovieClip and loadMovie should be within some method.
// var declaration
private var posterMc:MovieClip;
// var use
private function someMethod():Void {
posterMc = this.createEmptyMovieClip('posterMc',100);
this.posterMc.loadMovie('adv_saleposter.swf');
}
