Hi All,
New to AS3.
I'm sure I must be missing something obvious, but I'm at a loss.
Example:
I have created a movie clip - called "myMC". I added it to an existing movie
clip called "main" (main.addChild(myMC)).
At this point myMC traces as [object MovieClip].
I load an as2 swf into myMC.
At this point myMC traces as [object MainTimeline].
I change myMC's y value to 100 and it traces as 100.
Later I want to move it again. To reference it I create a variable like
this:
var mc:DisplayObject = main.getChildByName("myMC");
Now when I trace mc's y value it is 0.
I don't know why.
Does the trace [object MainTimeline] indicate that I've used addChild
incorrectly? Should I have added myMC to "main" after it had loaded? Why
did it go from a MovieClip object to a MainTimeline object?
Does the fact that I'm loading in an as2 swf have anything to do with it?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Kurt
