Problem with getChildByName

[COLOR=“Red”]Please Refer to Post #9 for complete details of the the code[/COLOR]

Hi,

I was working on a little code in which I am inserting a few movieclips within a scroll pane and then user is able to drag stuff(a movieclip) from stage to the movieclips inside the srollpane.

SWF uploaded:http://megaswf.com/serve/87256/

Now, when I am accessing a movieclip inside the scrollpane like this

testMC.addChild(F22omc);

It works perfectly fine. But when I try to do it using getchild by name like this

testMC.addChild(getChildByName("F22omc"));

I am getting the ole “TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.”

Any help will be really appreciated. Here is the full code


// * import necessary classes
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import fl.containers.ScrollPane;
import fl.events.ScrollEvent;
// * createScrollPane
/*function createScrollPane(target:Object, xPos:Number, yPos:Number, wSize:Number, hSize:Number):void
{*/
var sp:ScrollPane = new ScrollPane();
sp.move(10,40);
sp.setSize(400,150);
sp.source = panedata;
sp.scrollDrag = true;
addChild(sp);
//}
// * add ScrollPane to a movieclip linkage name “ScrollableMC” from library, then place it on stage
//createScrollPane(testMC, 10, 10, 400, 150);
