I was trying to convert kirupa’s ADT Node class into AS 3, when I ran into a problem. In the Node constructor, Kirupa used attachMovie, which as we now know is obsolete in AS3. However, when I used addChild(); nothing really happens (no movieclip is attached to stage), or, if I try to refer to a display object on stage (displayObject.object2.addChild(movieClipClass);), it returns with an error along to lines of “displayObject is undefined” or something. Additionally, when I try to refer to the stage (stage.displayObject.object2…etc), it returns another error (something about null).
As I am writing this thread at a friend’s place, I do not have the swf/fla/as file on hand. However, when I get back home, I will post the source code ASAP. For now, I simply need to know if it is possible to “see” an object on the stage from within a class. I.E. in the constructor function, can I say “stage.object1.x=100” or something)
Thank you,

EDIT: Yes, I meant addChild 
. The old AS 2 haunts me…
