hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to initialise a movie attachment with a function …

Thus:

```auto

function myFunction(){
this._alpha = 0;
}

this.attachMovie("new","new_mc",1,{myFunction});

```

I know that I could put \_alpha:0 into the INIT value (But in reality I have something a little more complicated up my sleeve)

Any ideas would be great 😏
