loadMovie kills method?

[nunomira]

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("newMc", 1);
_root.newMc.loadMovie("01.swf");
//_root.newMc.attachMovie("mc", "mc", 1);
_root.newMc.onEnterFrame = function() {
	trace(getTimer());
};

After loading an external swf into the instance newMc, the method onEnterFrame, apllied to the very same instance, isn't called anymore.
Why does this happen?
But instead of loading, if I attach it from the library, there is no problem...

When you load "into" a mc, the loaded clip "replaces" the container clip. That could be the cause. that enterFrame could be triggered by an on(data) . In other terms come after loading is complete.

lol I hit reply and I see gparis's post with almost the EXACT wording I was going to use

[nunomira]

_root.newMc.onData = function() {
	trace("onData called");
};

the problem is that this doesn't work... for the same reason...

And enven after I'm sure that the movie has loaded, and by clicking a button, I can't attach any method to the instace newMc, although it exists, acording to the trace action...

on (release) {
	_root.newMc.onPress = function() {
		startDrag(this);
	};
	trace(_root.newMc);
}

how to explain this?
