I know how to duplicate movies and drag and drop, but for seperate things.

Is there any way of Duplicating a movie and then calling upon it to drag and drop it else where? I can’t seem to get it working since the script for drag and drop calls upon an instance name - and the instance name for the duplicated movie has a variable at the end so its different all the time

eg duplicateMovieclip(“movieclip”, “instance name”+i, i)

I don’t even know if its possible calling upon an instance name that doesn’t exist until something is clicked O.o;

\*hopefully this is in the right thread \>\_\<;
