I have this turntable .fla that I want to duplicate on the same stage so that I have 2 independently functioning turntables.

I’ve tried making a movie clip out of the turntable objects (several movie clips, btns, etc.) and duplicating that and then giving each a different instance name: deck1, deck2, but that hasn’t worked.

Several of the turntable’s movie clips call actionscript functions that are located in the main timeline and I believe that this is why it can’t function once I make one movie clip out of it.

Is there a better way to duplicate this turntable and have both function independently, while calling the same functions on the main timeline?

I’m almost ready to give up…help!

Here’s the .fla

Thanks!
