container, you can use the createEmptyMovieClip() and loadMovie() functions
in Flash. You can do a search on actionscript.com for those and check out
the specifics.

Subject: movie Clips on movie Clips?
Hi again,
What I eventually am trying to do is to create a drag/drop menu where
you can open and close the folders and add new folders - like Windows
2K. For this application, all movieclips/text boxes are created
dynamically from Microsoft SQL. What I've thought anout doing is
1) to have a parent movie clip that is transparent. On top of this
would be (1) a child MovieClip that is duplicated and that would hold
the images of an open/close folder or a file; and (2) a text box that
can hold the names of the menu items.
2) A similar way to acomplish this (I think), would be to have a text
box with html set to true and HTMLtext = eval("<IMG
src="" + Name)
and then add MovieClip.addListener(myTextField)
I can't get the Img thing to work though I know it should in CFMX2004.
3) of course another way is with one movie clip that is next to its
corresponding text. So the two are not really combined at all, but
their instance names will be such that They always appear next to each
other.
The picture and text have to be combined or related in some fashion so
that they always appear next to each other. This is because the user
can add a folder or drag a folder (and its text) to another location in
the menu.
my question is:
1) how to create a duplicated movie clip ontop of another movie clip
(for Scenario 1)
2) Any suggestions/comments
3) is there another good Flash forum? Perhaps one similar to this one
for ColdFusion?
Thank You -
Frank
