[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica][SIZE=2]hi!  
this is first time i came on this kind of a problem. i can not run the function inside of a movie that was attached (i want to run it after attaching). what did i do wrong??? i realy dont know what could be a problem… did someone had a similar problem?

newsPeice movie has a linkage and function that has to be run is on the main timeline of the newsPeice movieClip

here is the code:

item\_count = 0;  
function CreateNews() {  
for (var i = 0; i\<100; i++) {  
var newsPeice\_mc = newsContainer\_mc.attachMovie(“newsPeice”, “newsPeice\_”+item\_count, item\_count);  
newsPeice\_mc.runFunctionForLoadingPicture();  
}
