Hi all,

I’m quite new to AS3 so please bear with me. I have read that the attachMovie has been replaced by addChild. I’m not sure how this works though. Basically I have a document class in which I have all my game code, I have movie clip symbol in my library which I need to follow the mouse but how? Obviously I will use startDrag but how do I get the symbol into the display list or the document class???

Please help, very confused!
