    function childrenF(dobj:DisplayObject):void{
    // do whatever with dobj

    if(dobj is MovieClip){ // do use graphic symbols?
    for(var i=0;i<dobj.numChildren;i++){
    childrenF(dobj.getChildAt(i));

    }

    }

    }

    it's  saying that getchildat and numchildren are undefined

    "Call to a possibly undefined method getChildAt through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject."  "Access of possibly undefined property numChildren through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject."
