try \_root.print1.print2.duplicateMovieClip(“your info here”)
As my heading implies, I am no Flash guru yet, but I believe you’re currently telling it to duplicate the movieClip within its same tree.
Lemme know if this helps 🙂

I don’t think you can duplicate a clip anywhere else than in **this**. Try to attach instead.
