change
temp.attachMovie("themask", "idono"+k, this.getNextHighestDepth());
for
temp.attachMovie("themask", "idono"+k, temp.getNextHighestDepth());
you need the next depth inside the empty movieclip. And you also need a
reference to the empty movieclip:
//target_mc.addMask = function() {
temp = "wrapper" + k;
mcTemp = target_mc.createEmptyMovieClip(temp,
this.getNextHighestDepth());
mcTemp.attachMovie("themask", "idono"+k, this.getNextHighestDepth());
mcTemp.blendMode = "layer";
trace(k);
//};
in your code, temp is a string, not a movieclip. This may be the problem.

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,
