Example

In the following example, a new movie clip instance is created called

img_mc. An image is

loaded into the movie clip, and then the

img_mc clip is duplicated. The duplicated clip is

called

newImg_mc, and this new clip is moved on the Stage so it does not overlap the original

clip, and the same image is loaded into the second clip.

this.createEmptyMovieClip("img_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());

img_mc.loadMovie("http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/images/image1.jpg");

duplicateMovieClip(img_mc, "newImg_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());

newImg_mc._x = 200;

newImg_mc.loadMovie("http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/images/image1.jpg");

To remove the duplicate movie clip, you could add this code for a button called

myButton_btn.

this.myButton_btn.onRelease = function(){

removeMovieClip(newImg_mc);

};
