Hi Kurt, How do you load youe swf into your myMC?
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kurt Dommermuth Sent: woensdag 17 juni 2009 13:57 To: 'Flash Coders List' Subject: [Flashcoders] understand getChildByName 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.
