Maybe it isn't a clip. Call getQualifiedClassName to see what it is.
________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of justSteve Sent: Monday, April 21, 2008 6:04 AM To: flexcoders Subject: [flexcoders] Adding clips to Parent clip 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 --steve...
