AS3 to AS2 Array

[Kreinen]

I'm trying to use a for loop to add all instances of the MC clam_aee to the Array ground_clam_array, in order to preform a hitTest on any instances of clam_aee.

var ground_clam_array: Array = new Array();
for(var i = 0; 1 < numChildren; i ++){
if(getChildAt(i)is clam_aee){
ground_clam_array.push(getChildAt(i));
}
}

Unfortunately, i just had to switch my document from AS3 to AS2 in order to allow nested script, and now my checker has an issue with this code. I assume this means that AS2 can't use Child or Push. In any case, how can I achieve adding any instances of clam_aee to ground_clam_array in order to hitTest ground_clam_array MCs in AS2?

There's an error in the condition; did you mean "i < numChildren" instead of "1 (one) < numChildren" ?

Why's this? What nested script do you need that AS3 doesn't support but AS2 does?

AS2 does indeed support array.push(), but not getChildAt(). There's no specific way of getting child movieclips that I remember of in AS2; the most I can think of is performing a for loop through _root and checking if the type is "movieClip".
