Im trying to duplicate a mc, but i what im trying to do is, make it so that when the duplication of \_root.mc1.mc2 is made, i dont want it to be part of the mc1 anymore but on the root. Right now the script im using duplicated the mc, but when the parent mc is gone so is the duplication. This is the script im using

i = i+1;  
duplicateMovieClip(hatmissle, “circle2”+i, i);
