I’m looping through something and building a ‘menu’ from dynamically attached mc’s. within each dyn. attached mc there is around 5 layers or so, some dyn. text boxes and another mc (just an empty mc) to load a picture into.

the dynamic attaching, text works great. for some reason I can’t get the picture to load. now this could be lots of things but I’ve gone over my code and it should be good.

the funky thing is that I don’t think that the mc is actually appearing! If I make a green rectangle on the same layer as my mc It appears. as soon as I turn it into a movieclip it stops appearing!

what the heck? the other thing that may or may not be related is that I built the skin (the mc that gets dyn attached) in another .fla and copy/pasted it into my main .fla. so if you click on that mc in the library and click properties it says its from a shared library from the .fla i pasted it from(!!!) is that what’s screwing it up? arrrgghhh!!! getting ticked off!

anybody else experience this kind of behaviour???
