[Flashr] help

[Steven Henry]

I'm also a bit out of touch with AS2 but it sounds like you're trying  
to set the movieclip's properties before it's loaded - use the  
MovieClipLoader class?

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00002538.html

Didn't test this but it should work:

>> loadMovie("slide.swf", "flickr");

var containerMC:MovieClip = this.flickr;
var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcl.addListener(this);
mcl.loadClip("slide.swf", containerMC);

function onLoadInit() {
     containerMC.setMask(this.mask);
     containerMC._x = 20; //etc...
}
