[Flash8]Assigning Link ID to a loaded image?

Hey there!

I’ve been trying to figure out a way to assign a link ID to a loaded image so that I can then attach that clip to various other nested movieclips.

If I load the image into an empty movieclip on the stage that already has a link ID in the library and then try to attach that movieclip to another one using its link ID, it will attach the empty clip from the library and not the one on the stage with my loaded image in it.

This problem has come up from wanting to preload images (using a loading array) but then wanting to attach these images to dynamically generated clips later on, that are nested deep within my movie.

I know that i could load in swfs (with link IDs) instead of jpegs, but I need updates to the site to simply require images added to a folder, rather than a whole lot of swfs with Link IDs created.

Am I overlooking something simple here??!

Help appreciated :slight_smile:
