Sorry about the too long topic title, but it sort of got even more incomprehensible when I made it shorter.
Now, on to the problem:
I’ve got a movie clip that consists of a few other movie clips. This is to maintain a certain degree of order in the chaos.
I use action script to load the container mc on the stage. Now I want to change some properties of on of the contained mc’s, but they seem to be unreachable.
So I did a little testing and I found out that when you just place an instance on the stage, those contained MC’s are accesable, you can see in the debugger that the container MC contains other stuff.
But if the MC is loaded with attachMovie(), the debugger does not show that the container has other mc’s within it, and therefor I cannot change the properties of those mc’s.
Any thoughts about how I can solve this problem?
PS. Of course I can give up this ordering business and just attach multiple movies. Although this circumvents the problem, I would prefer not to do this because:
- I’d like to stick to the ‘certain degree of order’.
- I wish to learn how this works.
