That would do it, Bob, thanks, but my clips aren't even in the library. (It's all generated by code.)
I'm wondering, isn't this issue solved in AS3 with addChild()? - MM I'm not sure at what point in your runtime you want to make the copy, but if these clips are all library symbols in the same fla and are exported for Actionscript, wouldn't this do it?
