I´m tring this AS to duplicate a MC on the main movie. This AS is on a loaded SWF. It´s not working but can´t find the reason.

```auto

duplicateMovieClip(_root.container, "container1", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
_root.container1.loadMovie("grupo01.swf");

```

Any help will be appreciated.  
thanks
