Root of attachMovie. never worked, know why?

hi,

i have never got this to work, any ideas how is should be done?



_root.content.holder.attachMovie("id", "newName", 5)
_root.content.newName._x = 500


i’ve only ever got it to work if there is no object before the attachmovie (it always attaches alright but then i cna’t use the target _root.content.newName._x ).

sure it’s something easy but it’s causing me a headache.

thanks in advance

kd
