addChild?

Hi,

Im trying to addChild to stage inside a container but nothing appears on the stage, what do I need to do, and what do I need to do to the artwork MCs so the AS picks them up?:

var container1:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

container1.addChild(artwork1);
container1.addChild(artwork2);
container1.addChild(artwork3);

First of all, where are the artowork MCs situated at ? If your MCs are in the library then you'll need to do this:

// assuming artwork1 , 2, 3... are the linkage names of your MCs
var art1:MovieClip = new artwork1()
var container1:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(container1);
container1.addChild(art1);

// OR

var container1:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(container1);
container1.addChild(new artwork1()); 

By the way, if it wasn't throwing any errors then the source of the problem was container1. You were never adding container1 to the display list with addChild(container1);

Everything is added to container1 but you never add container1 to the stage... addChild(container1)
