Adding Child to AS3 Flash Sprite in Director 11.5

Jun 28, 2012 8:46 PM

Tags: #flash #swf #11 #director #addchild

To add a new movie clip to a Flash sprite using ActionScript 2 I do something like this

 

new_clip = flash_sprite.createEmptyMovieClip( "my clip", flash_sprite.getNextHighestDepth() )

 

 

Can someone tell the the ActionScript 3 equivalent? I tried this

 

new_clip = flash_sprite.newObject( "flash.display.MovieClip" )

flash_sprite.addChild( new_clip )

 

 

but I get an error saying #addChild handler not found in object.

    Seems I add it to the stage of the sprite

     

    new_clip = flash_sprite.newObject( "flash.display.MovieClip" )

    flash_sprite.stage.addChild( new_clip )

     

     

    If anyone knows better please feel free to respond otherwise it seems to be working.
