Loop through children?

programming flash

Is it possible to loop through all of the children in a class that you have added to stage?

Eg: myNewClass:testClass = new testClass()
addChild(myNewClass);

Then… Something like…
for (myVar:testClass in stage){
}

Anyone have any ideas? For now I’m just naming each child and putting the names in an array, and using getChildByName as I go through the array with a for loop.

maybe like this

for (var i:int=0; i < containerName.numChildren; i++) {
 trace(containerName.getChildAt(i).toString( ));
}

Hmmm… I would have to put all of the players in MovieClip, and the projectiles in another.

I didn’t realize this. This makes handling depths alot easyier!
