I have a movieclip in the main timeline that is underneath a mask. I want to duplicate it or even use attachMovie in order to creat multiple instances of this movieclip and set each one within a certain area.\r\rHow can I do this without having it added on top of my mask layer? \r\rThanks for any help that you can give. I really appreciate it.\r\rpsuedo

I used attachMovie to do this. Is that what you’re trying to do ? (click in the middle and then around)\rpom 0]
