In AS3, when I call MovieClip.gotoAndStop(), any symbol that are added to the stage are *not* immediately available to scripts after the call. However, the numChildren *does* count the newly added symbols but getChildAtIndex() only returns null!
Worse, after the function stack is cleared and event are called, all the symbols on the frames in between dispatch consecutive “added” and “removed” events! This is a *major* break from AS2 where I was used to doing this: clip.gotoAndStop(“labelWhereFooLives”); trace(clip.foo); //__level0.clip.foo Now I get this: clip.gotoAndStop(“labelWhereFooLives”); trace(clip.foo); // null trace(clip.numChildren); //1 trace(clip.getChildAtIndex(0)); //null --> whaaaat? Trying to work around it is making my code terribly complex and crofty. HELP!!
