Andrei,
themask is in there according to debug lists but I can't see it in the
.swf...
What/where is Frame 0 ?
Seems to be instanciated but not loaded. Can't find a command to explicitly
load it.
Also interesting that I can't seem to force the level on any of the movie
clips.
Thanks,
Teresa
Level #0: Frame=1
Shape:
Movie Clip: Frame=1 Target="_level0.img_mc0"
Shape:
Movie Clip: Frame=0 Target="_level0.img_mc0.themask"
Movie Clip: Frame=1 Target="_level0.img_mc1"
Shape:
Movie Clip: Frame=0 Target="_level0.img_mc1.themask"

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