Hey,  
Im actually doing this in CS3 beta xD, but I thought I would post in Flash 8 as it doesnt make any difference.

What i need is to load my images into individual movieclips created before the movie starts. After the movie started I want it to attach the movieclips using the attachMovie(…) method. I don’t know how to dynamically make linked movieclips for use with attachMovie() and I don’t know how to load content into them for use over and over again without re-loading. I obviously know how to load stuff into flash in real time but not before the movie starts, and I don’t know how to create MCs with linkages via actionscript.  
If it is possible help would be appreciated! (I know its not clean but its the best chance I have on my time scale ☹ )  
Thanks,  
Dan
