Susan,
Coming from a non-coders background I learned a lot from Colin Moocks
books. Essential ActionScript 3 and Actionscript for Flash MX. (the
last one is AS2 but very readable if you want an understanding of
concepts like variables, properties, methods, functions, arrays etc.)
Also Actionscript 3.0 cookbook is very handy.
Al books are published by O'Reilly.
Feel free to ask for directions on lists like these though. I learned
a lot here and don't mind sharing.

Ok, I'm embarrassed, but the following doesn't work:
addChild(my_obj);
trace(my_obj(parent));
Ok, sounds like you need to learn what a property is. I will leave
it up to
other people to explain such a fundamental thing.
Your error is treating my_obj as a Function. It clearly is not a
Function.
So the second line is just garbage logic wise. Your syntax is
simply way
bellow the minimum requirements for this task.
Yes, I knew that when I wrote my last email. Can you at least point
me in
the right direction? There is nothing in your response that
indicates what I
should research, other than "property" and "function", which I feel
is way
too general.
TIA,
Susan
