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."
