Hi,

Before the attachMovieClip feature was available, if you wanted to use multiple instances of an MC you had to have the MC on the stage to start off with, and then duplicate that MC as needed. This meant that I always ended up with FLAs that had lots of MCs 'hidden' off canvas that were then duplicated as the movie ran.

The attachMovieClip action was added so that MCs could be pulled out of the library and placed onto the stage as when required.

This is a good feature, but if you need to code for onClipEvents (such as 'enterFrame' or 'load') then the code is stored per instance, not with the clip in the library. This means that you cant use the attach clip feature with the MC.

I was wondering how other people were addressing this issue?

I have had to go back to storing a copy of the MC (complete with code to respond to events) on the stage to start off with, then duplicating.

Any thoughts?
