To give each instance a new name, you can create a variable with a numerical
value, and increment it each time, like this
instanceNum++;
newName="wk"+instanceNum;
_root.attachMovie("wk",newName, instanceNum);
Note that I also used the instanceNum to set the depth of the new instance,
since if you continue to use 2, each instance
will overwrite the previous one.
You can also let Flash pick a level and name for you like this
instanceNum=_root.getNextHighestDepth();
//then continue as above.
To set the initial position, you use the initObject, which for some reason you
are now setting to "". The initObject can
be used to pass any properties your wk clip possesses, including the built-in
properties _x and _y. There are two syntaxes
you can use:
myInit=new Object();//create initObject explicitly
myInit._x = 45;
myInit._y=200;
_root.attachMovie("wk",newName, instanceNum,myInit);
or the shorter but somewhat harder to read:
_root.attachMovie("wk",newName, instanceNum,{_x:45,_x:200});//create the
initObject using the curly bracket notation
