Question
Accessing dynamically created movieclips
I have an application that I am adding movieclips to a
container movieclip through a for loop and repeatedly calling
myClip.addChild(theNewClip). Now I have a dozen clips in my
container and it seems like the only way to access the clip is to
use the getChildByName() method and cast it into a temporary clip
so I can get at the its properties.
Is this the best and/or only way to do this? Does the old AS2 myContainer["theName"].property not work with dynamically created movieclips? It doesn't seem to work for me anymore.
Anyway I am getting the clips now, but I was hoping someone could show me a better way to access a dynamically created movie clip.
