Hello everybody,

I have a problem with a textField inside a movieclip that I am attaching using attachMovie(). The MC has a dinamic textField that I want to be able to give text to dinamically, but once the movie is attached to an empty one on stage, the textField does not show the text.

Here is the code I am using:

this.createEmptyMovieClip(“holder\_mc”, this.getNextHighestDepth());  
holder\_mc.\_x = 250;  
holder\_mc.\_y = 200;  
holder\_mc.attachMovie(“dada”, “my\_mc”, this.getNextHighestDepth());  
holder\_mc.dada\_txt.text = “Coco”;

But “Coco” is never shown…

Can anyone help me?

Thanks,  
Peace,
