“whiteBitmapData” appears in my swf, but the image i load (myBitmapData) does not appear at all. any suggestions? im probably missing something really simple here, such as placing it after .

```auto
var linkageId:String = "./com/images/game.png";
        
var whiteBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(100, 80, false, 0x00CCCCCC);
var myBitmapData:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap(linkageId);
        
var mc:MovieClip = _root.mc_imageHolder.createEmptyMovieClip("mc", _root.mc_imageHolder.getNextHighestDepth());
mc.attachBitmap( whiteBitmapData, _root.mc_imageHolder.getNextHighestDepth() );
mc.attachBitmap( myBitmapData, _root.mc_imageHolder.getNextHighestDepth() );
        

```
