Adding same object twice with addchild

1

Hi,

I would like to add the same object to two different movie clips but flash wont let me…

Say I have movieclip1 and movieclip2, now I want to load an external picture and add it to both movieclips. Then the following code does not work :

var fullImageLoader:Loader = new Loader();

fullImageLoader.load(new URLRequest(imageArray[currentImage]))

var imageContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

movieclip1.addChild(imageContainer);
movieclip2.addChild(imageContainer);

I found the following statement in the adobe livedocs:
*“If you add a child object that already has a different display object container as a parent, the object is removed from the child list of the other display object container. *”
(http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/display/DisplayObjectContainer.html)

I have tested this and it works that way.

movieclip1.addChild(imageContainer);
movieclip2.addChild(imageContainer);

Results in the image being added to movieclip2

movieclip2.addChild(imageContainer);
movieclip1.addChild(imageContainer);

Results in the image being added to movieclip1

My question is: how I can add the ImageContainer to both movieclips and manipulate them separately ?

Thanx !
