Can't. You might have two parents, but display objects can only have one.

I have a canvas that I instantiated and drew onto, but I want to attach it onto two separate containers without having 2 separate instances of it. When I do this: var obj:MyCanvas = new MyCanvas(); container1.addChild(obj); container2.addChild(obj); it only shows up as attached to the second container. How can I attach it to two without having to instantiate two versions of it?
