Hi,

I’m doing this in an external file :

//Attach Library MC  
this.attachMovie(‘link’, ‘l’ add i, i, {\_x:420, \_y:210});

and i’ve got that error :

‘)’ or ‘,’ expected  
this.attachMovie(‘link’, ‘l’ add i, i, {\_x:420, \_y:210});

The script work very well if i publish to Flash 7 … but not Flash 8!

Can anybody help me?

turb

Umm… ‘l’ add i? Don’t you want to put ‘l’ + i?
