Question

Can't access movieclip...

I created a script that duplicates a movieclip several times based on the number of nodes an external XML file has. It seems that I can't access the movieclips or change their properties or instances or the properties and instances of subsequent movieclips within them. When I try to access them I get "undefined" while tracing it. Sorry about the amount of code, I don't want to leave any of the variables out... Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

yes it does... when the loop goes through the first time... it overwrites it, which is what I wanted. I should also ad that the set _x and _y properties do work so everything is formated where I want it... which is weird because when I try to access it to get a movieclip within it, it say's it's undefined. I should also add that I've been working on this problem for about the last 5 hours straight, so I'm sure I'm missing something stupid!

does the pCamera0 movie clip exist ?

quote:
duplicateMovieClip("pCamera0", pCamera, 10+n);


If it does you are duplicating it with a movie clip with the exact same name.

If it doesn't you are duplicating a movie that doesn't exist in the first place.
