<div>
Ordinarily I'd do something like<br />
<br />
_root.attachMovie(&quot;myMovie<wbr />LinkageSym<wbr />bol&quot;, &quot;movieClip2&quot;, 1);<br />
movieClip2.ListBoxInstance<wbr />.addItem(&quot;<wbr />Screw&quot;, &quot;This&quot;);<br />
<br />
This doesn't work, but if I drag an instance of myMovieLinkageSymbol onto the stage, call it movieClip2, and write the same line of code, it's added.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Hi all,<br />
I have a movie clip with an instance of an FListBox in it. Whenever I try to attach a new instance of this movie to the stage, the instance name of the FListBox does not get picked up and I cannot access it!<br />
<br />
Is there any particular reason for this, and is there a suitable workaround?<br />
<br />
Thank you,<br />
