Hello,  
i understand the use of duplicateMovieClip()

I would like to copy a movie clip from one location to another, or more specifically a loaded image.

i am using the movieClipLoader to load a jpeg into portContainer.holder1.small.  
[AS]  
var mclListener:Object = new Object();  
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(target\_mc:MovieClip) {  
};  
var image\_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();  
image\_mcl.addListener(mclListener);  
image\_mcl.loadClip(“portfolio/”+ti+"/"+bi+"/small.jpg", portContainer.holder1.smallHold);  
[/AS]

what i need to do is:  
onLoadInit needs go duplicate the loaded jpg into a couple other movie clips such as portContainer.holder2.top.small.

any suggesions??

when i use duplicateMovieClip(), it copies the movie clip into the same clip its already in, i would like to copy it to another clip.

Thanks alot for any help.
