[CS4 AS2] Really really newbie question- sorry! Referencing attached clip

[KaH]

I apologize in advance for how much of a noob question this probably is!

Using attachMovie, I've attached a movie from my library to a clip already on the stage - great, that worked, wonderful.

centerpoint.attachMovie("making_mc", "making_mcattached", 22);

Now I want to refer to a movie clip inside of this attached movie clip from the main timeline. How do I go about doing that? I feel as though I've tried every combination of centerpoint.making_mcattached.back etc. etc. (back is the name of the mc inside of my attached movie clip). What terribly obvious thing am I missing this time or am I really just going about this whole thing completely wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated- since I really am very new to all of this I would really like to learn and unfortunately I'm not having much luck trying to figure this out on google or by trial and error.

Thank you!

Give the movieclip an instance name and then refer to that instance name in your AS?

So click your back movieclip, the one inside the attached clip. Then type the a name you can use to refer to it in actionscript (how bout 'troubleMC'). I don't think you need anything other than that.

Thank you for the reply-!
I don't actually recall what instance name I'd given the back button, so let's just say it's troubleMC then.

From the main timeline do I reference it as

making_mcattached.troubleMC
making_mc.troubleMC
centerpoint.making_mcattached.troubleMC
centerpoint.making_mc.troubleMC

??? I really want to add actions to this troubleMC but since I have no idea how to reference it - well, it's giving me a bit of trouble.
I think I've actually tried all of those four above options and none have worked, so again I apologize if there is a really obvious solution here.

Thanks.

Option 3 would be the right one:

centerpoint.attachMovie("making_mc", "making_mcattached", 22);
centerpoint.making_mcattached.troubleMC.onRollOver = function() {
    trace(this);
};

This assumes that:
a) you already have a movieclip with an instance name of centerpoint on the stage
b) you have a movieclip in your Library with the linkage id of "making_mc"
c) that mc contains a further mc with an instance name of "troubleMC"
d) and that you are actually trying to target troubleMC from the _root timeline.
