movie clip on display

[dak1n6]

Hello,

Flash semi-newbie here. I am working with macc's pageflip v2, and I want code to randomly swap images in a movieclip (one of the pages).

Can anyone help me figure out how to add/remove symbols from a movieclip via actionscript. How can I attach/remove symbols to "page5". I guess I'm trying to do something like this from scene1:

page5.attachMovie(used1, "rnd2", usedDepths++);
page5.rnd2._x = 70;
page5.rnd2._y = -130;

my first approach was to use some on(load) code in the page5 clip, but no dice. Suggestions?

[tt]attachMovie()[/tt] is the way to add a MovieClip Symbol in the Library to a MovieClip on Stage. To remove it, you can use [tt]removeMovieClip()[/tt] or [tt]unloadMovie()[/tt], but if you want to replace it with another MovieClip, do [tt]attachMovie()[/tt] again to the same depth. There's no need to remove it before attaching the new one.
