I want to create a movie clip of custom size so i tried doing it with this code:

```auto

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("nar_vrata", 1);
var zac_X:Number = 265-sirina/2;
var kon_X:Number = 265+sirina/2;
nar_vrata.attachMovie("vrata", "vrata_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
nar_vrata.vrata_mc._height = visina;
nar_vrata.vrata_mc._width = sirina;
nar_vrata.vrata_mc._x = zac_X;
nar_vrata.vrata_mc._y = 480;

```

but nothing happens! What am i doing wrong?

This works. But it’s hard to tell without knowing whats inside your function

```auto

function stanjeMP():String {
	blah = "blah blah";
	return blah;
}
var text:String = "bla bla"+stanjeMP();
trace(text);

```
