Hi Adrian, I think the simplest thing to do would be to set a linkage id for your
movieclip symbol in the library and then use attachMovie to make copies of it wherever you need them.
They already have linkage id's, its more of a case that i have ~30 odd instances on the stage, cloned from a variety of symbols with different link id's, say a user clicked on one of them, i now need to move that instance into a new parent MC, but there is no way (that i can see) to query that instance for its linkage id to then be able to re attachMovie() that instance into the new MC.
From googling it looks like what im doing is called re-parenting and
everyone seems to be going crazy that you can finally do this in AS 3.0, but surely there has to be a way to work around this in AS 2.0 ?? At least i have another workaround which is to create a mapping of instances to linkage id when i originally attachMovie() them to the stage, but this just seems backward.
