Yeah, but it doesn't play well with depth as I've later learned. createChild, and thus mx.core.View which most of those containers extend, uses it's own depth. As such, managing your own depth will later collide so it's best to just use the class' built in methods.
As long as you PROMISE not to EVER load another mc into the Canvas, then createEmptyMovieClip is fine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "bhaq1972" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 17, 2005 11:32 AM Subject: [flexcoders] Re: calling createEmptyMovieClip() Thanks that worked.
