This is actually more of a Flash question than a Flex question. MovieClips are (*cough*currently) somewhat funny critters with an less than obvious contract. Anyway, you'll probably want to use MovieClip.createEmptyMovieClip(): http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/mx2004/main_7_2/wwhelp/wwhimpl/comm on/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Flash_MX_2004&file=00001491.html also see MovieClip.attachMovie() and Object.registerClass(). -Roger Roger Gonzalez mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
