Hi,

I am loading a movie clip from my library to the stage by adding a linkage name to the move clip and creating a new class of it in a .as file. This works great, the problem is I have a move clip inside of the movieclip clip I loaded to the stage and I cannot access its properties like I used to in AS2.

example

Load moveclip1 to stage from the library. Movieclip1 has movieclip2 inside of it. With AS I use moveclip1.moveclip2.x = 10 and I get errors.

Do I have to just load the other movie clip in with the linkage system?

Thanks,

waffe
