[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]Hi - hope this isthe right place to post…[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]I used to do quite a bit of as3 word but not for quite some time (guess why???). I am now having a play with flash pro6 and the toolkit for create js. I have to say I worked through the platypus example and it kinda left out all the things I wanted to know like the real easy stuff! So for example I want to add a mc to the stage with js — how? The as bit works … but I tried various combinations of[/FONT][/COLOR]

```auto

stop(); 
var fredd = new fred(); 
stage.addChild(fredd); 
fredd.x=100; fredd.y=100; 
/* js this.stop(); 
var fredd = new fred(); 
this.stage.addChild(fredd); */

```
