I’m trying to convert the Squirrel Finder ([http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml/examples/squirrelfinder.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/../web/xml/examples/squirrelfinder.htm)) AS 2.0 example into AS 3.0, and I’m having some issues.

How do I convert this line of code into AS 3.0?

```auto
var item_mc = menu_mc.attachMovie("menu_item","item"+item_count, item_count);

```

Would it be this?

```auto
var item_mc:MovieClip = new menu_item();
menu_mc.addChild(item_mc);

```
