My duplicateMovie duplicates in very odd way

1

Hi,

Something very odd is happening when the clip is duplicated…see attachment. Where am I going wrong if I just want the clip to be duplicated and I don’t want the original clip visible otherwise the context menu would be pointless… Notice what happens when you right-click a second time and try to extend the clip. Why is the re-size button off the MC?

code on the frame
ActionScript Code:
