[fugli] Re: add component

[Andrew Mercer]

thanks everyone - got it working.

 

But why doesn't this work

   _root.movieClip.attachMovie("tabButton", "newButton_mc", 2);

 

whereas this does

   attachMovie("tabButton", "newButton_mc", 2);

Hi Andrew,

make sure you have set up the linkage on the component or movieclip by right clicking on it and choosing linkage, add a name and check export for actionscript. The use the attachMovie() method. When you attach it you add a new name in the arguments which you then use to reference the movieclip or component, so if you called it myCheckBox you can then assign properties to it like this:

myCheckBox._x=100;

etc.

hope this helps.

Jon

I am sure this is a real basic thing, but I am having troubles finding any help on it.

I have a component (movie clip) in the library - how do I programmatically add an instance of it to th stage?
