Bitmap does not show

:ear:
Ive created a empty movie clip then tied it in to a bitmap that exists in the library called “red” (I made it available for export). The bitmap does not show at all, when run. I don’t want to use the function attachMovie. Can anybody see the prob with this snippet-thanks

var movieClipHandle:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(“picture1_mc”,this.getNextHighestDepth());
var myBitmapData1:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap(“red”);
movieClipHandle.attachBitmap(myBitmapData1, this.getNextHighestDepth());
