I want to do something like this...this works up to the container.getChildAt(2).gotoAndStop(3) call. the container is populated with the animations (each with 10 frames) and they are all stopped on frame 1 as told to in the for loop, but when I try to access gotoAndStop in side the container I get an error. 1061:

ActionScript

oh..the error is 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method gotoAndStop through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.

assuming Animation() extends MovieClip, cast container.getChildAt(2) as a movieclip:
