Attachmovie to timeline from library

[MiamiMods]

ok... what i have is a button which i want to attach a movie to a blank MC in my main timeline, the movie i am attaching is in the library. I exported it for AS and everything, then i wrote this actionscript:
on (press) {_root.thing.attachMovie("Float", "float1", 1);

}
I also tried:
on (press) {thing.attachMovie("Float", "float1", 1);

}
And lastly, i tried each one with on (release) just in case.

Can someone help me out here, thing is the blank MC in the timeline, and Float is the MC i am attaching to thing from the library

The clip may not be available at the time you are calling it....I don't know what frame you are calling the attachMovie function from, but if it's frame #1 then you will also need to tell the clip to be available in frame #1 (using the linkage property items, IE export to frame #1).

Maybe that will help,
