Hi,  
I have created a movie clip with an hover over caption. I want to copy it several time. I am copying an instance of it on the stage, but as soon as i edit the text on my copied movie it alters the original movie clip as well. Is it possible that when i copy my origirnal movie clip, and edit the copied one, it does not affect the original movie clip?

Please help

Thanks
