I think this has been solved here:  
[http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=90797](http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=90797)

However, when I paste that into Flash I get an error that says: “Attribute used outside class”. Can anyone help me figure out why that’s happening… or offer a better solution for what I need to accomplish.

Ultimately, I’m trying to place a Quote MovieClip to the end of the last character in the last line of a dynamic text field.

Thanks.
