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

In my experience that doesn't work. It *should*, but for some reason,
the function never gets assigned to most or all of the events. Better is to
use Delegate.

You could also look at not snipping the text at all, but instead using the
