this script does not work:
_root.hover_mc.attachMovie(“BJ_name_text_mc”, “hover_mc”, 0);
this script works:
_root.hover_mc.attachMovie(“BJ_companion_text_mc”, “hover_mc”, 0);
why ???
i have hover_mc on the main timeline - _root.
when user clicks a button, i want “BJ_companion_text_mc”, an internal MC, to appear inside hover_mc blank box.
it was working fine. now its not and the only text_mc that is working is “BJ_companion_text_mc” now
can someone please explain how attachMovie works?
i know that it will attach a movie to a desired location without that movie clip having to be placed on the stage. thats what i want. but why does one work and one does not ?
i have set the linkage on ALL of my _text_mc’s. their linkage names are the same as thier movieclip names. (companion_text_mc is this way as well and it works fine). they are not placed anywhere except in the libary so therefore do not have instance names. besides, doesnt attachMovie give it an instance name?
i would attach my FLA but its too big. i tried zipping it - still too big
any help greatly appreciated
must be something to do with settings on my _text_mc’s
could this also maybe have something to do with the layers of the main time line ? i have hover_mc as the top most layer
thank you so so much…
