I ditched the function() since it wasn't executing and tried your
suggestion. The debugger now shows the "wrapper"..s getting added to the
movieclips. Hmm...progress. But the temp.attachMovie is not executing on any
layer anywhere. I just don't see why.
Thanks,
T
//target_mc.addMask = function() {
temp = "wrapper" + k;
target_mc.createEmptyMovieClip(temp, this.getNextHighestDepth());
temp.attachMovie("themask", "idono"+k, this.getNextHighestDepth());
temp.blendMode = "layer";
trace(k);
//};

I guess you have to create an empty movie clip inside target_mc, and
attach
the mask to it.
