    <p>So I'm trying to shoot multiple bullets out of my body and it all works except I have an odd problem of just one bullet showing up and updating to set position for the new ones. I have a move able player thats supposed to shoot and I test this code by moving the player and shooting. Im taking it step by step in creating this.</p> <p>The result of tracing the bulletContainer counts correctly in that its telling me that movieclips ARE being added to the stage; I Just know it comes down to some kind of logic that im forgetting.</p> <p><strong>Here's My Code</strong> (The Bullet it self is a class)</p> <p><strong>UPDATE*</strong> Everything in this code works fine except for I stated earlier some code seems reduntned because I've resorted to a different approaches. </p> <p><strong>BulletGod Class:</strong></p> <pre><code>public class bulletGod extends MovieClip{ //Register Variables //~Global var globalPath = "http://127.0.0.1/fleshvirusv3/serverside/" //~MovieCLips var newBullet:bulletClass = new bulletClass();

    1. COYou need to tell us where this code is executed, is it in the document class? Is "this" referring to the stage? Why are you adding the newBullet object to the tmpBulletId MovieClip?

    2. COAlso, need to know what's in bulletClass. Maybe it shares its children with other bulletClasses?

    3. COThanks for your input guys! Heres the setup.. I have the main stage which intitates the "bulletGod" class onto the main stage. Inside the bulletGod: It requests bullet images from the server attaches it to an associated array with an id#(so the bullet will match with the dynamically loaded gun). Then i have a function that loops every 100ms and if the player is shooting it will spit out bullets(were we are at right now)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
