Hey all,

Long time since i’ve done this and i’m a little rusty.  
How do I attach a library item to the Stage using AS2??

[LEFT][AS]  
Stage.attachMovie(“myLogo”, “myLogo”, 1);  
[/AS]  
[/LEFT]

Does not seem to work??

Thanks in advance!  
George

yep, just not Stage.

this.attachMovie(“thing”, “thing1”, 1); is also fine, and attaches it wherever you place the code.
