I know that you can do for example onClipEvent(enterFrame) as an action for an exisiting movie clip.

How do i dynamically do this

I load the movie:

\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“myMovieClip”, 101);  
myMovieClip.\_x=50;  
myMovieClip.\_y=50;  
loadMovie(“image1.jpg”, myMovieClip);

and i thought

myMovieClip.onClipEvent(enterFrame){  
this.\_x+=10;  
}

why wont this work and if not how can i do this?

Thanx

Dravos

Sorry, Im using Flash MX, thats why i can dynamically load the jpg to the movie clip. but seeming as you can not see it on stage as you create it on entering frame how can i apply this action to it?
