attachMovie problem

[fejomite]

This is probably easy (which is why I am here)..but I am trying to get a movie clip to load using the attachMovie method from the tutorial posted in the tutorial section, but it is not working.

this is the actionscript for the button:

on (release) {
main.attachMovie("binaryClip", "newname", 50);
}

the movie that I want to load has an instance name of binaryClip
and there is an empty clip on the stage with an instance name of main.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if this would help, but try a different method. First clear all of the code from the button. Then give the button an instance name of something like "myBtn." Then add this code to the frame:


myBtn.onRelease = function() {
_root.main.attachMovie("binaryClip", "newname", 50);
}
