Hi

I am trying to port my old AS2 project to AC3. In AS2 I used to make (whith actionscript) a new moviclip whith the same name and in the same level as a old one. But this dont works in AS3 a can use “removeChild” but only if ther just is a singel movieclip, if ther is a moviclip whith other moviclip or/and texts, grafic in it, it dont work.  
In AS2 you were able to reath a clip by its path (like \_root.clip1.clip2.\_y = 200) but how does I reatc a clip in AS3?
