I think you forgot the depth value parameter. Take a look in the manual
(F1). -
2. Re: Why Does This Not Work?
If I understand the parameters correctly..."this" is the depth parameter value which is basically the depth of the movie clip "imageHold_mc". Isn't that right? -
3. Re: Why Does This Not Work?
as you look closer at the parameters you will notice depth has to be a number..... ;p -
4. Re: Why Does This Not Work?
I'm still not sure why this is important...i appreciate it althought the attachMovie is working fine. What's not working is the
_root.imageHold_mc.imVisible.gotoAndStop(horVal);
where imVisible seems to not want to work but if I hard code it...it works fine. So the question is...can I use a variable in this manor? -

Do you mean you put a number on the same code line instead of the
parameter? Or did you call it from elsewhere? For me the parameter looks
ok. The only thing was the depth parameter. When two clips use one depth
you can get into trouble. I think the reference from one clip gets lost
and you can't refer to it anymore. Maybe that is the case here.
