Is reference lost?

First a bit of code:

var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); mc.graphics.lineStyle(2, 0x000000); mc.graphics.beginFill(0xFF00000) mc.graphics.drawRect(10, 10, 100, 100); var array:Array = [mc];

this.addChild(array[0]);

mc = new MovieClip();

this.removeChild(array[0]); this.addChild(array[0]);

I would expect it to update reference held in array and add empty MovieClip to the stage. Is that wrong assumption then?

Thanks

Yes. Changing which movie clip mc refers to does not change which movie clip array[0] refers to. It still refers to the old one. Instead, change the last line to this.addChild(mc); or add another line which says array[0] = mc; between the removeChild and the addChild which follows it.
