class with movie clip actions

[GrndMasterFlash]

ok, i use addChild to load a character (MC) from the library and take actions, if i reffer to the MC the new caracter loads into i can get simple direction control, only because the child is attached to the parent, but when i try to do somthing like a goto command it will not work,

the simple script


player.addChild(new emilia);
trace(emilia); // output = [class emilia]
trace(player); // output = [object MovieClip]
player.x = 200;
player.y = 490;
emilia.gotoAndStop("duck");

is there a way for me to be able to load in "emilia" as its own MC to be able to receive time line controls?

emilia is your class, not your instance. You want player.getChildAt(0) (or whatever depth the new emilia was placed)

[sangackt]

The code you wrote:

emilia.gotoAndStop("duck");

that doesn't reference the new movieclip object you created ealier. You can do it two ways, like Senocular said:
player.getChildAt(n) (Where n is wherever the object is in the heirarchy)
or
var mycharacter:emilia = new emilia();
mycharacter.gotoAndPlay( "duck" );
