attachMovie oddity

[YYZ11]

I'll try to explain this the best I can, but it's strange...

I have a website SWF with 6 links on it. Each link loads a MC with the same name... i.e. About link loads AboutMC, Contact link loads ContactMC, etc. When the movie is attached it is then set to x,y position 350, 150 so it appears in the right place.

Everything is working fine UNTIL... I changed one of the MCs to include Scrollbar and Combobox components... That MC (called WhereMC) causes a problem...

The WhereMC loads fine, BUT whatever movie loads next loads at 0,0. (If I click the link again, it reloads it in the correct position.)

Something is wrong in WhereMC such that the (root level) function that does the MC loading is not working correctly...

My function looks something like this:

function loadLinkClip ( MCtoLoad) {
attachMovie(MCtoLoad, "bodyMC", _root);
bodyMC._x=350;
bodyMC._y=150;
}

Your thoughts?

Thanks,
Kenny

Try this:

function loadLinkClip(MCtoLoad) {
    _root.attachMovie(MCtoLoad, "bodyMC", 1);
    bodyMC._x = 350;
    bodyMC._y = 150;
}

or this:

function loadLinkClip(MCtoLoad) {
    _root.attachMovie(MCtoLoad, "bodyMC";
    bodyMC._x = 350;
    bodyMC._y = 150;
}

They are only slightly different to your current code but may have the desired effect. I think the components are using dynamic attachments also which could be causing a depth conflict.
