[FONT=Verdana]Hi,

I am loading several images from XML to dynamically generated movieclips (mc\_1, mc\_2, mc\_3…etc.). Then adding all of them into a parent MovieClip - imageContainerMc. So now, imageContainerMc holds mc\_1, mc\_2… etc.

What I want to do next, is to **Duplicate the imageContainerMc** , and add both the instances on Stage-- addChild(imageContainerMc), addChild(imageContainerMc\_duplicate).

Could anyone please tell me how can I duplicate a \*\*dynamically generated \*\*MovieClip? I badly need a solution for these…!!

Thanks![/FONT]
