Are you drunk, dyslexic, or disabled? Please write in proper English. Post your code in [code] tags.

Not only did you misspell "dsip" in the addEventListener call, your dsip function has invalid lines. You must include "var" when declaring a variable. The line immediately after that is missing a closing ")". Did you get an error message?

s is not an instance name. s is a variable of type s1 which refers to an instance of s1.

Where do you put s on the display? I do not see an addChild(s) line.

hiii,thank you for your kind help... nice to meet you.... and very sorry for troubling you with my english.. thanks for bearing that.....

actually i left the var here.. in my original code i have declared loader lik tis

var loader1:Loader = new Loader();
here.. i bymistake left it...

actually my entire code is like this..

var s : s1 = new s1();
function imp (event:MouseEvent):void{
addChild(s);// displaying MovieClip in library
}
m.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,imp);
where m is the instance name of the button i have in stage...
and one more thing... if s is not the instance name of s1 then please tell me how can we create the instance name in actionscript3....... thanks in advance friend....

Again, please use [code] tags to post your code.

You could set s's instance name by assigning a value to its name property, but there's no reason to do so.

s.name = "someName";

So, what ARE you seeing when you click on the movieclip? Do you get an error message?
If you put a trace statement in dsip, do you see it when you click?

hiii,
thanks for the help,

Please do not send me a private message each time you reply. I already get notified of the reply in the thread.

You've changed your story again. Earlier you said the MovieClip did appear, but clicking it did nothing. Now you say it didn't appear. But you're still asking how to make it clickable. How do you know it's not, if it doesn't appear?

Put traces in your functions so you can tell if they're being called.

hii ,sorry for disturbing you..actually i was a bit confused the thing is that i have the button displayed if i clcik the button the movieclip appears and if i click the movieclip nothing appears on screen.... sry by the time i was replying you i was like very tensed and typed the reply wrongly... i dont get any sort of errors..
wat shall i do now?? sry for disturbing you friend....
thanks in advance...

For the third time: put a trace statement in your dsip function. That will tell you if it's being called. It probably is. So the problem is probably that you are loading the wrong thing. You can put listeners for all the events that loaderinfos throw to see what's going wrong with the load.

I did like how you said now its working!! thanks friend....
