TeapContainer.addChild(myTeap);
}
Teap.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickdresses);

function clickdresses(event:MouseEvent):void{
var myHS:MovieClip = new HS();
HSContainer.addChild(myHS);
}
HS.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickdresses);

function clickdresses(event:MouseEvent):void{

Hi,

Without any files to look at it will be pretty hard to help, advice would be to Google the error messages and work it out from there.

Not sure if this is the problem, but I'll point out some things that could be it (I'll take as an example the "Teap" part, though you'll have to apply it to the rest of them).
- First, you're assigning an eventListener to a "Teap" you didn't define previously. You have to write, for example, var teap:Teap = new Teap(); and then you can go on and add a listener to it.
- Second, you're writing "Teap" with a capital T. As far as I understand you only use capitals when you're referencing the class itself, for example if you say teap = new Teap(); notice that the first teap (which is a variable name) starts with a lower case letter, and the class starts with a capital letter. Therefore, you should not write Teap.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickdresses); but make a variable called "teap" (as said before) and then teap.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickdresses);.

Hope that helps and it solves your problem!
