I’m trying to attach a movie clip to the main stage using:

[AS]  
this.attachMovie(“movieObj”, mc1, 1);  
[/AS]

However, it ain’t showing up. Trace said the movieclip of that name is undefined, despite having the correct linkage and instance name. Anyone know why a movieclip might be MIA? I must be missing something obvious.
