getChildAt and methods

[rob day]

I know I can manipulate a property via getChildAt, but I can't seem to get a method to work. So for a movie clip: container1.getChildAt(0).x=100; works, but container1.getChildAt(0).gotoAndStop(10); doesn't. Is it possible to get a method to work this way?

getChildAt returns a DisplayObject, and while DisplayObject has an x property, it does not have a gotoAndStop method, which belongs to the MovieClip class.

So if you know the object returned by getChildAt is a MovieClip, you can cast the result to a MovieClip and use gotoAndStop.
