Can't add content to ScrollPane immediatly after attachMovie

Question

Hello,
I've successfully attached a clip (identifier = "myPane_mc") which contains a ScrollPane (instance name = "myPane_sp") to the main Timeline from the Library. No problem.
attachMovie("myPane_mc","myPane_mc_01",getNextHighestDepth());
However, I can't immediatley load another clip (identifier = "myPic_mc") into the ScrollPane.
attachMovie("myPane_mc","myPane_mc_01",getNextHighestDepth());
myPane_mc_01.myPane_sp.contentPath =  "myPic_mc";
Is this particular to the ScrollPane component? It works fine if I place the contentPath code in the next frame of the Timeline, but is there a function that I can attach to myPane_mc_01 to load myPane_sp's content without the additional frame?
Thanks!

It can take a little time for components to come into existence when they are added dynamically, so one way to get around this with code is to put a slight delay in before the command is executed using the setTimeout functtion... Try...
attachMovie("myPane_mc","myPane_mc_01",getNextHighestDepth());
var sto = setTimeout(setContent, 100); // 100 msec
function setContent(){
   myPane_mc_01.myPane_sp.contentPath =  "myPic_mc";
