Posted Jul 18, '09 at 7:29pm kevinseven11 36 posts	Okay Ive been learnin alot about AS3 but i dont understand how AddChild() can even be anything.Its not a variable and I think its a class but when I look theres no class for it, is it a function? Thanks

When you find it, YOu'll see that it says: public override function addChild(child:DisplayObject):DisplayObject the part that says child:DisplayObject tells you that it takes one parameter of a DisplayObject (or one of its subclasses).
