I’m using attachMovie to put an mc called tower on the stage onEnterFrame, but for some reason it’s attaching 2, one which I can set the coordinates and the other just hovers in the top left corner. I only want one on the stage. I’ve been reding and re-reading the code for about an hour now and i can’t figure out what I’m doing
Can someone take a look at it with a fresh pair of eye and tell me if you spot the problem?
