Hi,

I have a movie clip in my library and I would like to display it on the stage using AS3.

do I have to define it as a variable?Do I need to use this code: addchild(movieclip);

can I use the 'x' and 'y' to position it?

What would the code look like?

Right-click Moviclip from library and choose: Linkage...
Select the checkbox to Export for ActionScript.
Give the class "mov_clip"

var movie:mov_clip = new mov_clip;
movie.x = 50;
movie.y = 50;
addChild:(movie);

Ok..

But I guess the problem I have is that I want this one moive clip to be in two different places at the same time! I have two different buttons but I want to display the same movie clip when both buttons are pressed independently so the move clip will have to be at two different locations!

Why not create two instances of that movie clip class?

var mc1:YourMcInLibrary = new YourMcInLibrary();

var mc2:YourMcInLibrary = new YourMcInLibrary();

mc1.x = 50;

mc1.y = 50;

mc2.x = 150;

mc2.y = 150;

addChild(mc1);

addChild(mc2);
