Displaying from the Display List?

[Tired-Maniac]

Couldn't fit the full title in T _ T...

Anyway I was just wondering how I show objects in my display list on the actual stage in Flash using AS3? I figured it would be far more efficient to place all my MC's in the display list by using the .addChild(); method - but i'm usually greeted with Syntax errors and have no idea how to show these MC's from the DL, can anyone help me? Thank you very much.

I don't get it, what's the code and what error are you getting?

[Tired-Maniac]

var myTriangle:TriangleShape = new TriangleShape();
addChild(myTriangle);

I understand that I've added the variable to my Display List, but how do I get it to physically show on the Flash output?

Errors:

1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: TriangleShape.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method TriangleShape.

Thanks for your help.

Did you make sure to export the MovieClip for ActionScript?

Yeah, the overhanging error is "TriangleShape" as a Class does not exist, your problem is elsewhere.

THANKS! I had to link it to the AS (or something :s) and create the Class of TriangleShape so it would show in the .swf. Thank you very much again for all your help NG Flash Forum - I'm learning new stuff errday ;D
