I am trying to create an image gallery using an Array with MovieClips inside it but I keep getting this error:

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Fullsize\_01$ to flash.display.DisplayObject.

Here is the code I made. I know it’s probably something simple but I am pretty new to ActionScript.

var Fullsize\_Pic:Array = new Array();

Fullsize\_Pic[0] = Fullsize\_01;  
Fullsize\_Pic[1] = Fullsize\_02;

addChild(Fullsize\_Pic[0]);

Cheers!
