When using ‘**duplicateMovieClip()**’ is it possible to specify a **path** and **x** and **y** values on which the clip to be duplicated ? I have searched for the duplicateMovieClip **syntax** and this is what I found: **duplicateMovieClip (target, new name, depth)**. No path and no x,y specified.

If not, how else can I do that ?
