(zip-file attached!)  
i have main.swf with FPushButtonSymbol-linkageID in libary  
on main timeline a have this:

this.createEmptyMovieClip(“holder”,10);  
this[“holder”].\_x=100;  
this[“holder”].\_y=100;  
this[“holder”].createEmptyMovieClip(“holder\_lev1”,11);  
this[“holder”][“holder\_lev1”].\_x=100;  
this[“holder”][“holder\_lev1”].\_y=100;  
this[“holder”][“holder\_lev1”].loadMovie(“extern.swf”);

and my extern.swf have this on his timeline:

init\_obj\_b={\_x:0, \_y:0, label:“hallo”};  
this.attachMovie(“FPushButtonSymbol”, “b”,50,init\_obj\_b);

THE PROBLEM: the button is not attached!  
ok i know that this don’t work by default, and i could use loadMovieNum but i realy do need this TARGETS-mc.

DOES ANYBODY KNOW SOME SUITABLE WORKAROUND FOR THAT?  
i found this answer from gparis on this thred [http://www.flashkit.com/board/showt...threadid=462496](http://www.flashkit.com/board/showt...threadid=462496)

BUT I DON’T ANDERSTAND IT!

> 

I would say: load into a \_level, not into a target. That’s the usual “getaround” with attached symbols that preload before anything else. If they really need to be in targets, once they are loaded into \_level1 for instance, and cached, load them again into your holders.
