Ok, I’ve used MovieClipLoader to load a movieclip into my holder. Everything works out fine, the mc loads and it’s all good. But then, inside the loaded mc I use attachMovie to attach a movieclip from the library of the holder. It won’t attach, but it will attach if I re-create the specific mc in the loaded mc’s library. Does anyone know how to get around this?
