Yes.
As far as I know you can't duplicate movieclips into a container other
than the original one.
You could try attachMovie if you need to use the same movieclip symbol
in different places.
In any case, when you duplicate a movieclip, you don't get a clone of
the current state of the object. You get a new instance of the same
symbol. This means (for instance) that it doesn't matter if your
movieclip-to-be-cloned was playing around frame #30, your duplicated MC
will always start from frame 1. And if you had set any variables on the
first MC, the duplicated won't keep those values either.
I hope this helps,

Hi list...
[AS2] I'm trying to figure out how to copy a movieClip from inside a
scroll pane component and paste that copy on the _root. The movieclip
version of duplicateMovieClip doesn't seem to work because I can't
target the clip inside the scroll pane. The global version of
duplicateMovieClip doesn't seem to work because I can't say
_root.duplicateMovieClip(target). Am I missing something?
