AS2.0 Calling functions in MovieClips

Hey
I have this REALLY wierd problem. I have a MovieClip that is attached onto the stage. In this MovieClip I have the init() function. When I try and call this function, after the MovieClip has been attached on stage it doesn’t work! I can’t belive it!

MovieClip Frame 1
function init(){
trace(“bleh”);
}
Root Frame 1
this.attachMovie(“wipe”,“wipe”,1000);
wipe.init();

Nothing is traced!!!
Sorry to ask such a dumb question, I thought I knew better, if it doesn’t work I will just write the functions on the root. Meh
Thanks for your help,
Dan
