TypeError: Error #1034....

umm this is annoying…

Why can’t I get pass this stupid error? It’s not making sense to me.

I have a MovieClip from the library being brought in another MovieClip and I’m trying to trigger a button to communicate with a movieclip on the stage gotoAndPlay(2);

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Main@277a0041 to flash.display.MovieClip.
    at controlsTicker/saveTickerXML()

Any help?

MovieClip(root).ticker_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);

Thanks

Why dont you use stage.getChildByName?

Try this ? :

(root as MovieClip).ticker_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);

or change your Main.as
public class Main extends MovieClip
(instead of exetnds Sprite)

if can’t not access to ticker_mc

public var myTickerMC;

public function Main(){
    myTickerMC=ticker_mc;
}

MovieClip(root).myTickerMC.gotoAndPlay(2);

Thank you both!

@FlashTang This worked like a charm

public class Main extends MovieClip

Thanks again!
