I try to duplicate a mc wich has dynamic loaded content. The mc is loaded but not the content. Why?

All these actions are done in a control mc in the beginning of the flash movie, that also loads XML content - which pictures to load is determined in the XML file.

The code:

(sorry for the danish comments in the code…)

* * *

onClipEvent(load) {  
//opret globale variable  
\_global.startPicMove = “”;  
\_global.mouseIsOver = “false”;  
\_global.moviewidth = 738;//filmens længde  
\_global.centerpos = \_global.moviewidth/2;//midten af maincontainer  
\_global.pics\_space = 5;//mellemrum ml. billederne  
\_global.speed = 20;//hastighed af træk i billedet  
\_global.turn = “left”;//hvilken vej drejer billederne

// — LOAD XML - og generer billeder —

//funktionen generatePics som parser XML indhold, skaber og attacher indhold/movieclips med funktioner  
function generatePics(pics\_xml) {  
//trace (pics\_xml);

//opret movieclips som skal holde billederne og flyttes horisontalt  
//\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“maincontainer”,1);  
var pic\_maincontainer = \_root.maincontainer;  
//pic\_maincontainer.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”,1);  
var pic\_container = \_root.maincontainer.container;

//set start indikator  
\_global.startPicMove = “start”;  
trace (“startindikator”);

//flyt maincontainer  
pic\_maincontainer.onEnterFrame = function (){  
//trace (“enter frame maincontainer”);

//scroll billederne fra start  
if ((\_global.startPicMove == “start”) && (\_global.mouseIsOver == “false”)) {  
pic\_maincontainer.\_x -= 1;  
}  
//gør billederne scrollbare hvis musen er over filmen  
if (this.hitTest(\_root.\_xmouse, \_root.\_ymouse, true)) {  
\_global.mouseIsOver = “true”;  
//\_global.startPicMove = “”;//stop automatisk move  
//trace (“maincontainer mouseover”);  
}  
else {  
\_global.mouseIsOver = “false”;  
//trace (“maincontainer mouseout”);  
}

//scroll billederne udfra mouseposition  
if (\_global.mouseIsOver == “true”) {  
if (\_xmouse \> \_global.centerpos) {  
//trace ("x mouse pos: " + \_xmouse);  
\_global.turn = “right”;  
xpos\_factor = ((\_xmouse - \_global.centerpos)/\_global.centerpos)_\_global.speed;  
//trace ("xpos\_factor: " + xpos\_factor);  
this.\_x += xpos\_factor;  
}  
if (\_xmouse \< \_global.centerpos) {  
//trace ("x mouse pos: " + \_xmouse);  
\_global.turn = “left”;  
xpos\_factor = ((\_global.centerpos - \_xmouse)/\_global.centerpos)_\_global.speed;  
//trace ("xpos\_factor: " + xpos\_factor);  
this.\_x -= xpos\_factor;  
}  
}
