Hello,

I have been trying to migrate this piece of AS2 code to AS3

```auto
menuItemGroup.menuItem.duplicateMovieClip("menuItem"+i,i);

```

and i found some intresting stuff like [this thread](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1939827).

But i think this specific solution can’t help in my case.

I am sure there is some way to do it in AS3 but i need a little help.

Thank you in advance.
