That should work. Are you sure you're looking at the right object? Your example doesnt add md to the displaylist (no addChild call) so maybe that's an issue.

When i trace e.g the alpha-value from the public variable (it's a Sprite) it gave me the right value. But when i said e.g something like that: md = new MarkenDisplay; trace(md.markenContainer.alpha) //OUTPUT is 1 thats right //NOW i change the alpha-value md.markenContainer.alpha = 0; trace(md.markenContainer.alpha) //OUTPUT is 0 but on screen nothing changed How can i update the displayList from other objects?
