i guess you need to change:
mcTemp.duplicateMovieClip("themask", "idono"+k, this.getNextHighestDepth
());
to:
mcTemp.duplicateMovieClip("themask", "idono"+k, mcTemp.getNextHighestDepth
());

Andrei,
Significant progress...following your suggestions...
temp = "wrapper"+k;
mcTemp = target_mc.createEmptyMovieClip(temp, this.getNextHighestDepth
());
mcTemp.duplicateMovieClip("themask", "idono"+k,
this.getNextHighestDepth
());
mcTemp.blendMode = "layer";
trace(k);
I made one further change because the .attachMovieClip was not executing.
I
moved to .duplicateMovieClip and now see "themask" showing up in debug
list.
(Although still not in the .swf) In the process, I found this variable
list
in the debug mode. I have no idea what this means but anything that says
<broken> must be a hint!
Thanks so much for being here today to help me through this!
