[flexcoders] Adding clips to Parent clip

[justSteve]

I'm working on a preloader where I'll want to end up with a master
clip that contains all children handled by the loader.

        public function completeHandler(event:Event):void
        {
                manager.add2ClipHolder(event.target as MovieClip);
        }

If I don't use the 'as MovieClip' i get a implicit coercion compile
error. When I breakpoint the line above I can see that event.target
_does, in fact, hold a clip and has the properties one expects of a
clip. When I breakpoint the function I'm passing this to -
add2ClipHolder - the 'assetClip' parameter contains a null value.


                private var clipHolder:MovieClip;
                
                public function myManager( ) {
//constructor creates holder
                        clipHolder = new MovieClip();
                }

                public function add2ClipHolder( assetClip: MovieClip):void{
                        clipHolder.addChild(assetClip);
                }

Am I supposed to process the event.target before passing it forward?

thx
