createEmptyMovieClip, attachMovie troubles

programming flash
1

I’m trying to get pictures (changed into movieClips of course) from the library to load in an empty MC using
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“empty”, 0);
_root.empty._x = 0;
" "y = 0;

I can get them to load only if they are there own swf files I can’t figure out how to get the createEmptyMovieClip function to load from instants names

am I just stuck with making all the pictures into SWF files?

or is there some Flash pixies that fart on this project and make it all better?

I have tried attachMovie and I can’t get that to work either

You have to link them to the movie and give them a variable name so that flash can use it. Right-click on the image from the library and select Linkage…play with it from there.
