            child2.addchild(magbox);

            child2.addchild(magboxx);

            trace(child2.getchildat(0).name);

 

            magboxx.addeventlistener(mouseevent.click, magboxxhandler);

        } //closing brace function showmag

 

        private function magboxxhandler(evt:mouseevent):void {

            }

 

    } //closing brace class main

 

} //closing brace package

if want target dynamically created box1 , boxx instances can use getchildbyname that...

 

child1.removechild(child1.getchildbyname("box1name"));

child1.removechild(child1.getchildbyname("boxxname"));
