Hi mike, You could try these options. 1) The scroll pane within the slice9window movieclip, feed it with another movie (which should not be empty). Do that by going to the parameters options and enter a linkage name. by doing so flash will create an empty movie clip and load the pre-assigned movie clip within it. This might help u attach the other movie clip.
2) within the existing code try executing refreshPane() method. But I am afraid it will reload the scroll pane and all attached data will be lost. 3) contd. From point 1... Lets assume the pre-assigned movie clip's name is "emptyClip" Within the emptyClip movie clip set a global flag / global variable. While the scroll pane is loading emptyClip you would need to check for the global variable. And then execute the rest of the code. i.e. attaching a button and all... Hope this helps. Point 3 is a work around but should help. ____________________________________ Thanks Sumeet Basak CTO Renaissance Legal & Learning Systems Pvt. Ltd.

That's a good pun. Are you sure that the target movieclip you're calling attachMovie is being targeted correctly? btw, I think it's invalidate() and not redraw().
