You may have to wait for the child clips to initialise: Make sure your load order is set to bottom up in the publish settings, then try to initialise your child clips in the onLoad function. class Holder { /** ... */ function onLoad() { mc1._x = 50; mc2._x = ...

Hi, Apologies, I missed your other question: You can extend the XML object to include a reference to its parent - which would contain a function that allowed you to parse it and do things with your movie, like so: var external_xml:XML = new XML(); external_xml.parent = this;
