I have a movie clip, that has various codes attached to it to snap to areas of the screen. If I apply the duplicate movie clip command to this, the second instance will have a new name right? so how can I change the code that addressed the orginal movie clip to relate to the new instance with the new name?

Your help, as ever, is appreciated.
