thats the same exact result as creating an empty movie clip on stage with createEmptyMovieClip....excpet with attach movie you have to make sure that you have the symbol in the library, assign it a linkage name, and pass an extra parameter to the method call when you want your blank mc (createEmptyMovieClip(name,depth) vs. attachMovie(myblankClip, name , depth)).
