i have this code…i just want that when i click the duplicated MC then it will trace “button1 clicked” then the other goes also like that…here is the code… thanks in advanced 🙂

```
    //var container:MovieClip = setUpContainer();
    var ln:Number = 5;
    var spacer:Number = 3;
    var duplicate:MovieClip;
    for(var i:Number = 1; i &lt; ln; i++) {
        var newY:Number = i * (box._width + spacer);
        duplicate = box.duplicateMovieClip("baks" + i, i, {_x:newY});
                                
            /*baks1.onRelease = function(){
                trace ("wata na pres1");
            }
            
        baks2.onRelease = function(){
                trace ("wata na pres2" );
            }*/
            
        box._visible = false;
    //trace(duplicate); // _level0.clip-[number]
    }
```
