weirdness when trying to use attachMovie a class

[skalie]

Actionscript 1.0

I'm attaching a movie made at runtime ("box_mc").

This works....

code:

---

function Box(x_pos,y_pos,dep) {

	attachMovie("box_mc","aName", dep);

	aName._x = x_pos;

	aName._y = y_pos;

}

bla2 = new Box(50,50,2);

bla1 = new Box(100,100,1);

---

This doesn't (level property "dep" lower on first attach), the x_pos and y_pos aren't recognised.

code:

---

function Box(x_pos,y_pos,dep) {

	attachMovie("box_mc","aName", dep);

	aName._x = x_pos;

	aName._y = y_pos;

}

bla1 = new Box(50,50,1);  // changed

bla2 = new Box(100,100,2);  // or swapped

---

Am I missing something basic here?
