Bit of a horrible title. In Flash i have this as a SWF:
root -item --overlay --color Where root holds MovieClip with instance name "item" and item holds moviclips with instance names "color" and "overlay". Loading this SWF is then converted into a MovieClip var loadedSWF:MovieClip = //the loaded swf For some reason, i cannot access overlay and color by instance name but i can access item. var item:MovieClip = MovieClip(loadedSWF.item) // result [MovieClip] But thats as far as i can reference any other item. var overlay:MovieClip = MovieClip(loadedSWF.item.overlay) //result "undefined" or null var color:MovieClip = MovieClip(loadedSWF.item.color); //result "undefined" or null However item.numChildren() //returns 2 which is correct (overlay and color) item.getChildByIndex(1); //returns color Because of the nature of this project, i really need to have access to instance names as opposed to depths. Depths is going to get complicated and cause mistakes between me and the designer. Does anyone know why i cannot access the children of item? Yet i can access the child of loadedSWF. Thank you.
