Hey folks. Simply put:

Let’s say I’ve got a symbol (in this case its a continent icon). This symbol is connected to an actionscript class called ContinentView.as, how would I go about creating the symbol again and adding it to the stage? I am sizing the continent icon with a function but I want to keep an extra copy for something important. I am not allowed to use the flash timeline (actions panel), only actionscript classes made in Flex. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
