thanks I don't think attachMovieClip will work in this instance from what I've been reading. Perhaps I can clarify a bit more. I have a container swf that loads in a series of children swfs. All of my code is in the container swf, as are the icon movieclips. I want to use attachMovie to put an icon on a path that's inside of one of the children swfs.
If I add the movieclips to the child's fla and export them like I have in the container swf, they load OK, but obviously that's what I want.
