Dear all, There seems to be no answer to this one question on the web, nor did it bother anyone at anytime:
The almighty duplicateMovieClip (global funk or MC method, no matter) doesn't seem to be capable of duplicating a MC from one timeline into a different one. The thing I'm trying to achieve is grab a copy of a MC _root.mc1.mc2 (thus it's _name = mc2) into a MC different from _root.mc1, for instance _root But it doesn't seem to be possible. Am I right? Something like this (thought the code is obviously incorrect): _root.mc1.mc2.duplicateMovieClip("_root.newMC", 100); trace(_root.newMC); _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
