hiya - i want to have a movieClip "symbol" in my library of items, and then create an instance of this on the stage. is there a function to do this?
I realize i could put an instance on, and then use "duplicate" with the instance name, but i want to get rid of these dependencies on stuff being onscreen, from the IDE. ---- while we're at it, why does createEmptyMovieClip need so many params? if all i need is a handle to the clip, why do i have to make up a unique name (and make sure its unique) cant flash just create a dummy "unique string id" on te fly, and assume next highest level when its created? seems odd the programmer has to do this work... simply: clip = mc.createEmptyMovieClip(); would seem to be adequate... ? tx for any suggestions... /dc _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
