Hi all,
got a bit of a problem I’ve moved into while working on a project.
I’m dynamically creating movieclips with dynamically created movieclips inside them and am having trouble with targeting them.
Below is a simplified example of what I’m trying to achieve, in the real file there are a lot more movieclips and I’m creating and naming them with a for loop.
This one is just one Sprite created inside another sprite. I can target the top level sprite named “testname”. However when i try target the nested MC it throws an error.
The bottom couple of traces are just test MCs I’ve made to make sure i got the syntax right, on targeting nested movieclips.
var holder:Sprite = new test1();
holder.name = "testname";
this.addChild(holder);
var holder2:Sprite = new test2();
holder2.name = "testname2";
holder.addChild(holder2);
trace(getChildByName("testname").x); //this one traces fine
trace(getChildByName("testname").getChildByName("testname2").x);//this throws up an error
trace(testclip1.x);
trace(testclip1.testclip2.x);
I’m sure it’s just something simple I’m doing wrong but any help would be much appreciated,
Cheers
