Hi Adrian,
That is indeed what is happening. I copied the library resource in my
second movie into the first movie and it did then work. Although the
asset is duplicated which is not a big deal in this situation.

Firstly, I'm new to this list so hi!
I suspect your problem may be to do with the fact that you cannot use
library assets from one .swf in another.
From your description, I understand that your "dndNodeDragger" asset is in
the library of the second swf - if this is true you will not be able to load
it into any timeline of the first swf. This is an intentional limitation in
Flash.
In a message yesterday, JesterXL pointed out that you can re-parent a movie
clip in Player 8.5 - I'm not sure how to do this but it may just provide a
workaround for this. I intend to investigate!
Hope this helps!

Here is what I'm using...
// find root movieclip
public function getRoot(mc) {
var rootReference:MovieClip;
rootReference = mc;
trace("getting root = " + rootReference);
// find root
while (rootReference._parent !=undefined) {
rootReference = rootReference._parent;
trace("getting root = " + rootReference)
}
// return reference to root movieclip
return rootReference;
}

I would guess your getRoot() function is returning the incorrect root and
trying to attach and then failing.
What's the method look like?

I have two swfs. The first swf loads in the second swf. The second swf
uses a function that *finds* the real _root and then uses attachMovie to
attach a movieclip to it. The second swf works by itself but it does
*not* work when loaded into another swf. Specifically, if I use:
var root_mc:MovieClip = getRoot(this);
var d_mc = root_mc.attachMovie("dndNodeDragger", "d_mc",
DepthManager.kTop++);
trace("d_mc="+d_mc)
I get a reference when it is not loaded into another swf. I could really
use some insight on this.
