Hi, its my first post, just wanna say thanks to all you guys at kirupa, your site is an invaluable resource. :}

well, lemme shoot with my question:  
Is it possible to ‘move’ or ‘collect’ fills and stroke designs that are not symbols and that sit on the \_root/stage, into a “container” Movieclip, using runtime AS?

Generally, if they were made MC’s at authoring time, one could use a simple for …in loop.

Unfortunately, I don’t have the luxury of that approach. :sleep:

At all Possible?
