I tried searching for an answer to this on the forums and it seems you can’t duplicate a movieclip that has a dynamically loaded jpg in it, I mean you just get a duplicate _empty_ movieclip?

What I want to do is have 3 copies of a pic, each tinted a little differently, and have them converge and reveal the “composite” of this pic. Do I then have to use loadMovie 3 times?

Does loading the same 50kb image at the same time mean you’re actually loading 150kb?
