This little piece of code duplicates the mc kfukkfum and puts it on level1. then i want to manipulate the \_x-property. i dont succeed.

**code**  
duplicateMovieClip (\_root.kfukkfum, “kfumlogga”, 1)  
setProperty (“kfumlogga”, \_x, 30);  
setProperty (“kfumlogga”, \_y, 30);  
setProperty (“kfumlogga”, \_alpha, 65);

**so far so good. But the little piece of code below wont manip the \_x-property. anyone who knows why?**

\_level1.kfukkfum.\_x = 120;

the duplicated movieclip is **not** in level 1, its depth is 1. 😉

there’s quite a difference between depths and levels.
