Hi,

When I drag a movieclip from the library and create an instance on stage I can select it and look in the properties to see what it’s an instance of.

If I create the instance dynamically using attachMovie, how can I find out what it’s an instance of?

Thanks!

Gareth

Edit: I should mention I’m using AS2 (and Flash CS3).
