Hi everybody,

I have a question : is it possible to keep the loaded movies and then attach them to a mc ?  
The thing is that I have several external resources to load and I wish to attach them pour MCs along the execution of the movie.

I heared attachmovie only worked for library elements ?

Thanks alot in advance.

Here the thing : at the beginning of the program, I’d like to load all the external pictures I need and sotre them in movieclips.

Then later, I need to “attach” one of the MCs that I have created to another MC (ie : replace a picture by another).

Quite simple actually but I don’t know how to do it, because the attachmovie only seems to work with library elements whereas I use loadmovie() to load my pictures.

Any idea ?
