Attachmovie and duplicate movieclip fun

Ok having some issues with this:

I create a new movieclip:

this.createEmptyMovieClip(“setClip1”, this.getNextHighestDepth());

and then I attach a bunch of the same movieclip from the library to my new clip:
(in a for loop)
this.setClip1.attachMovie(“dashLine”,“dashLine”+i,this.setClip1.getNextHighestDepth());

This is all working fine. BUT, I try to duplicate this movieclip:

_root.setClip1.duplicateMovieClip(“setLeft1”,this.getNextHighestDepth());

And it seems to work - I can trace the _x/_y values and such so it sees my new clip but nothing shows up. It’s just blank.

So my question I guess to start is this:

When you use duplicateMovieClip, does it bring with it all of the attached movieclips as well or does it not include the attached clips as well?

Any help is very much appreciated - especially if any of you overseas guys are online at this hour. :wasted:
