So i’m trying to create an accordian menu that is xml driven. I’m only starting with the nav right now, and it’s pretty basic. I’m having trouble getting a movieclip inside of another movieclip with code. I’m getting this error (ReferenceError: Error #1069). I have two movieclips in the library, and both of them are linked for action script. I know that i need a main movieclip, and a sub movieclip that gets called and activated when the main movie clip is clicked on. I’m not sure how to activate it, or how to place a MC inside of another MC with code. If anyone would like to take a stab at it that would be awesome.
