I implemented your code like this:
var scroller:Object = MovieClip(root).getChildByName("thisOne");
I get no more errors, but the scroller is still stays on the screen.
Maybe it helps - here is the code section where I construct the scroller:
//thumb scroller////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//load xml
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
/////Parse XML
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
var xmlPath:String = "loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image_scroller_ActiveTuts_mine/app_thmbs_imgs60x90.xml";
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(xmlPath));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);
function LoadXML(e:Event):void {
xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
buildScroller(xmlData.image); //rather than trace the xmlList, we send it to our buildScroller function
}
/////Build Scroller MovieClip to Contain Each Image
var scroller:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var padding:Number = 5;//creating a var for padding to be used later on in easier calculations
//making the mask+boundaries
scroller.mask = maskRctngl;
var maskBorders:Number = 93;// distance from stage borders 88 px + padding 5 px
this.addChild(scroller);
scroller.y = 645;
scroller.x = maskBorders;
var thumbSmall:Number = 1;//setting up scale Tween on rollover
var thumbLarge:Number = 1.05;//setting up scale Tween on rollover
/////
/////Parse XML
//build scroller from xml
function buildScroller(imageList:XMLList):void{
for (var item:uint = 0; item<imageList.length();item++) {
var thisOne:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
//outline
var thumbFadeOut:Number = .3;//setting Border Tweens//doesn't work with TweenMax transitions
var thumbFadeIn:Number = .7;//setting Border Tweens//doesn't work with TweenMax transitions
var blackBox:Sprite = new Sprite();
blackBox.graphics.beginFill(0xFFFFFF);
blackBox.graphics.drawRect(-1, -1, 62, 92);
blackBox.alpha = thumbFadeOut;//setting Border Tweens
thisOne.addChild(blackBox);
thisOne.blackBox = blackBox;//setting Border Tweens
thisOne.x = thisOne.myx = (60 + padding) *item;
thisOne.itemNum = item;
thisOne.title = imageList[item].attribute("title");
thisOne.link = imageList[item].attribute("url");
thisOne.src = imageList[item].attribute("src");
thisOne.alpha = 0;//makes all thumb images at alpha=0 before they are fully loaded
//Loading and Adding the Images
//image container
var thisThumb:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
//add image
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(thisOne.src);
ldr.load(urlReq);
//assign event listeners for Loader
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeHandler_AppPopUps);//tells us when the loading is complete
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, errorHandler_AppPopUps);//tells us if there are any typo errors when the loading is complete
thisThumb.addChild(ldr);
thisOne.addChild(thisThumb);
//create listeners for this thumb
thisOne.buttonMode = true;//makes boxes act as buttons
thisOne.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickScrollerItem_AppPopUps);//makes boxes act as buttons
thisOne.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overScrollerItem_AppPopUps);//traces the title when the mouse is over the bounding box in the Output Panel
thisOne.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, outScrollerItem_AppPopUps);//traces the title when the mouse is out the bounding box in the Output Panel
//add item
scroller.addChild(thisOne);
}
scroller.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveScrollerThumbs);//adding movement on mouse position
}
