Hello,

I have a little problem copying a movie. When I do a copy, the instance names of the movie are always the same. I want to be able to copy a movie but be able to have different instance / variable names or even actionscript inside those movies.

I created 5 objects that I want to combine and use as one big object. I then want to duplicate that object 5 times. I can’t seem to find a way of doing it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,  
Armin
