I’m using the [TransformManager](http://blog.greensock.com/transformmanageras2/) from Green Sock together with a my script to duplicate a movie clip but it is not working out as well as I hoped. I manage to duplicate the clip but it is not completing the imported script functions as the duplicated clip keeps being dragged…

This is the script I’m using

```
ActionScript Code:
