just wondering if theres a way to pass variables to a duplicated movie.  
Ill be creating duplicate movies very fast (about 20 per second)  
and want them each to have differrent variables to work with.

duplicating with that , and i want to pass 3 variables to the new movie clip

dot.duplicateMovieClip(“dot”+currdot, this.getNextHighestDepth(), {\_x: xpos, \_y:ypos});
