FLASH: duplicateMC and Setproperty behavior

[Sergio Santos]

I got button on a movieclip that loads data from php into another MC. The MC that "gets" the data has the following code (for size sake I quote just one).

<code>

onClipEvent (data) {

[...]


// Mould weeks

 while (n<=semanas) {

  _level0.planningmovie.attachMovie("mwbox", "mouldw" add i, 60+i);

    i++;

  _level0.planningmovie.attachMovie("yearw", "mw" add i, 60+i);

  setProperty ("../mw" add i, _x, xsemana+(step/2));

  setProperty ("../mw" add i, _y, "150");

  set ("_level0.planningmovie.mw" add i add ":txt", n);

  _level0.colortext("mw"add i, 0xCC0000);

  xsemana += step;

  n++;

  i++;

 }

}

</code>


Ok, this works fine 90% of the time, sometimes properties aren't set in what looks to be "in time", so the clip won't appear in the right place. Pressing refresh on the browser solves it, but I want to avoid that. It seems that the set variable works ok, this is only happening in position changes.


Anyone knows of a safe way to make this never happening? I got frame rate at 12. But every attached/duped mc is a single frame movie.
