When i use this code

> \_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“mov1”,\_root.getNextHighestDepth());  
> \_root.mov1.createEmptyMovieClip(“test1”,\_root.getNextHighestDepth());  
> \_root.mov1.createEmptyMovieClip(“test2”,\_root.getNextHighestDepth());  
> trace(mov1)  
> for(i in \_root.mov1) trace(i);  
> trace(“------”);

duplicateMovieClip(mov1,“mov2”,\_root.getNextHighestDepth());  
trace(mov2);  
for(i in mov2) trace(i);

## Output is : [COLOR=Red]\_level0.mov1 test1 test2

\_level0.mov2
