hello everybody,

I try to load a swf file with :

cont0= this.createEmptyMovieClip(“containerA”, 155);  
cont0.loadMovie(“testClip.swf”,156);

and to duplicate this loaded swf with :

duplicateMovieClip (“containerA”, “TestMe”, 500);

and to move the duplicated movieclip with :

setProperty (“TestMe”, \_x, 100);

but it doesn’t work this way ! :tired:

mobing the clip original clip with containerA.\_x=100; works fine. but no SetProperty on “TestMe”

any suggestions?

thanks for your help
