I have a piece of code which dynamically creates a movie clip and does stuff with it.

I have 2 movie clips which are EXACTLY the same, except in name and picture.  
This code works:  
var mb = \_root.attachMovie(“pwrupSpeed”, “pwrupSpeed”, 1, {\_x:block.\_x, \_y:block.\_y});

This code doesn’t:

var mb = \_root.attachMovie(“pwrupMultiBall”, “pwrupMultiBall”, 1, {\_x:block.\_x, \_y:block.\_y});  
And yes, the 2 movie clips are exactly the same, this includes linkage properties…
