Bring Movieclip to main stage

[kizza0]

Ok, iv posted a couple times. No help. So i guess ill simplify my question. I need a way to grab a movieclip from within another movieclip, and bring it to the main stage so it can be moved around etc.

Check your library.

Ok, I knew someone would refer to something like adding a new copy form the library.
Im using actionscript 3.0, The movieclip has over movieclips added within it during the movie.
So adding it from the library with addChild would not add the same Movieclip with all of the other movieclips nested within.

I promise you, it will.

This should work, although I haven't tested it and there might be a better way of handling it:

var inside : MovieClip = outside.inside;
addChild(inside);
inside.x += outside.x;
inside.y += outside.y;

This will essentially grab 'inside' MC from 'outside' MC and insert it onto the stage.
