Hi Nik, As far as I know you can only duplicate a MovieClip into the same parent.
attachMovie is used for attaching MovieClip symbols (which have been assigned linkage id's) from your library. I think the simplest thing to do would be to set a linkage id for your movieclip symbol in the library and then use attachMovie to make copies of it wherever you need them. Adrian P.

Hi all, Flash 8 Pro: Im trying to find a way to duplicate one movie clip into a new movieclip so that it can take advantage of the new target MC's rotation, location etc. It looks like duplicateMovieClip is what i want, but as far as i can tell it seems to only duplicate an MC within the same parent MC - is this really the case or am i missing something ?? ie i want it to operate like: mcToDupe.duplicateMovieClip (newParentMc,"newname",newParentMc.getNextHighestDepth()) The next alternative i looked at was to just removeMovieClip from the source MC and then attachMovie (nice func naming consistency there) into the destination MC, but looking through the MovieClip properties and functions i cant see a way to determine the ID of the mc so that i can recreate it via attachMovie in the dest mc - is there a way to obtain this ?? Any other ways to achieve this ??
