Can it be done?

```auto

myListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
			var ref:MovieClip = target_mc.duplicateMovieClip("ref", target_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
			
//target_mc.attachMovie("holder","ref",target_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
			ref._x = 80;
			ref._y = 80;
etc. }

```

i can’t see ref

What to do??
