Hi

I am using the attachMovie script in as2 and I want to use a counter variable to increase the depth each time so it doesn’t replace the last one. Every tutorial i’ve seen for attachMovie mentions this but I can’t find any information on how.

Also is it possible to use a different counter variable to change to y position of the attached movieclip, so that it adds another beneath the last every time.

Thanks a lot.

Tom
