In my project I have a movieclip called world1. The world1 mc contains all the scenery, all the enemies[Class=Enemy], and all the un-passable terrain[Class=Terrain]. At the moment the world1 mc has 2 enemies and 3 terrain and including the Shape’s used for the scenery that should be a total of 6 children.

> trace(world1.getChildAt(0),world1.getChildAt(1),world1.getChildAt(2),world1.getChildAt(3),world1.getChildAt(4),world1.getChildAt(5))  
> returns

> [object Shape] null null null null null

Keep in mind that nothing in the world1 mc is created dynamically; if you were too look in my .fla in the world1 mc there would be 3 terrain 2 enemies and a shape. The strangest part is that only one of the terrain ends up firing off its New() function. Can anyone help me with this issue?
