Hey guys.  
I was wondering is there a way to duplicate a movie clip and edit a text field in the duplicate movie clip without editing whats in the text field in the original movie clip even if that text field in the mc is animated with a guided motion tween?

i havnt started workin on the animation or nething yet cause i need to do it 36times with each letter of the alphabet but i was wondering if i can do it by just making one mc with the text field animated how i want and have it duplicated and edit the duplicate with out changing nething on the original to save time?

thanks in advanced
