attachMovie with Shared Libraries

[thebeige]

Hey,

I can successfully attachMovies from a loaded external .swf, but I can't see and attach those movies outside of the loaded .swf.

Allow me to illustrate...

I've loaded the external file...
loadMovieNum("DesignToolUniform.swf", 1);

... and I'm dynamically attaching movies.

for (i = 0; i < movieClipArray.length; i++)
{
linkName = movieClipArray[ i ];
newName = linkName;
_root._level1.attachMovie(linkName, newName, i + 10);

newMovie = eval(&quot;_root._level1.&quot; + newName);
newMovie._x = xPos;
newMovie._y = 155;

xPos += newMovie._width + 15;
}

The problem is that I want to attach movies to another timeline.
Say, instead of using _root._level1.attachMovie(), I'd like to be able to do _root.differentMC.attachMovie().
I've tried a few variations of this, but I'm unable to attach.
My attached clips are only seen if they're referenced from the same level.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

_root._level1... Again?
