It was my understanding that the onLoad event occurred when a Movie Clip was loaded  
or \*\*[COLOR=red]appeared [/COLOR]\*\*in the timeline. Attached is a small fla that I have been using to test this  
out but it doesn’t work. Shouldn’t onLoad event occur in frame 10 when the box2\_mc enters the time line, And then shouldn’t the onEnterFrame event occur for each frame of the box2\_mc. It doesn’t. What am I missing!!! Your help would be appreciated.
