Linkage / Runtime Sharing

MX04 Pro | AS2

Lets say i have two movies.
1.swf (contains movie clip in library with linkage ID “thing”)
directory/2.swf

Inside of 1.swf I load 2.swf inside of a emmpty movie clip.
On the root of 2.swf I attach the “thing” from 1.swf’s library:


attachMovie("thing","test_mc",this.getNextHighestDepth());

Nothing happens. The movie is not attached.

Do i need to use runtime sharing? Or am I missing an extra undocumented parameter. Because everything i’ve read on runtime sharing, specifies both movies in the same directory so i’m trying to avoid it. >.<
