Okay, so I decided to try putting some child movieclip switches into the .as instead of in the frames. After a lot of Googling and reading, I think I learned that each of those movieclips need to be in their own .as. Anyway, I tried to do it and the movieclip, which is located in the .fla library and does have export checked off, is not showing up when I play the file.
The movieclip has this .as to itself:
package emotion{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class gizmoAmused extends MovieClip {
private var mc:MovieClip;
public function gizmoAmused():void {
mc = new MovieClip();
super();
mc.x = 268;
mc.y = 99;
}
}
}
In another .as, I have something like this:
package {
import flash.text.*;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import fiawtglobals;
import emotion.gizmoAmused;
public class fiawtconvs {
...
public static var charFace:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
public static var gizAmu:emotion.gizmoAmused = new emotion.gizmoAmused();
...
charFace = gizAmu;
...
Then, in the timeline, I have something like this:
stop();
import flash.text.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.*;
import fiawtglobals;
import fiawtconvs;
import gizmoAmused;
...
addChild(fiawtconvs.charFace);
...
I am rather confused. I managed to get some TextFields working from the fiawtconvs.as with about the same code, though this movieclip does have the extra extends MovieClip thing, which I am very sure is related to whatever I did wrong. Flash tells me there are no compiler errors and nothing shows up in the debugging console when I open it in that mode. The movieclip simply does not show up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
