For example: ##Embed_AS_Test.mxml## <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ [Embed(source="skins/OPSkin.swf", symbol="upDownMC")] var upDownMC:String function onAppInit() { //add the child to Hbox, not first argument is linkageID or symbolName (in flex world) _hbox.createChild(upDownMC, "upDownMC"); } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Hbox id="_hbox" /> </mx:Application> Please note, attachMovie(..) is not recommended in Flex app. Use the methods of View or UIObject to add/attach children to containers...
