Accessing a movie clip in library with javascript

Hi,

Please accept my apologies for, what must seem like a basic question.

 

I have imported an .svg from inkscape to the library, converted it to a movie clip (test1) and I want to be able to add the movie clip to the stage using javascript. Here is my latest effort.

 

var stage = new createjs.Stage('democanvas');
var test2 = new lib.test1();
this.addChild(test2);

 

I haven't found any post about this forum and others, probably because it is is trivial.

Hi.

 

There's no need to instantiate a new stage because there's already a Stage instance called stage that is created in the publishing process.

 

To add a symbol from the Library, you have first to make sure it has a linkage name. Like this:

 

Then just instantiate it and add it to the display list:

var test1 = new lib.test1();
this.addChild(test1);

 

I hope it helps.

 

Regards,

JC

Thank you so much. I am embarrased to say that my library panel was docked and  so it didn't

look like your  screenshot until I expanded it. This is my  first post, what do I do to rate you or your answer. I have marked it as the correct answer. Is there anything elses i should do?
