so i’ve done 2 little versions of a simple program,  
4 little rectangle are the corners of a bigger rectangle, which is been drawn per as.  
so the first version is most simple:  
the 4 little rectangles are on stage, every one is an own mc.  
the second one :  
one little rectangle is in the library and gets attached 4 times  
the third one(my problem):  
i want to create an rectangle via line.To etc. in an “this.createEmptyMovieClip” and then attach this one, but i can’t

here is how far i got

> this.createEmptyMovieClip(“square”);  
> this.square.beginFill(0xffaa00, 30);  
> this.square.lineStyle(1,0x00ff00,100);  
> this.square.lineTo(10,0);  
> this.square.lineTo(10,10);  
> this.square.lineTo(0,10);  
> this.square.lineTo(0,0);  
> this.square.endFill();
