Hi nice list :-) Can somebody have a look on this problem please ? i don't understand why this duplicate method doesn't work on nested movieClip :( You can check a really simple example at http://www.mymisu.com/niko/duplicateTest.rar
It's really a basic example, i've commented the duplicate problem in the document class Thanks in advance ...
