as you probably have guessed, its a main boat, under a draggable menu. When i press this boat I want it to copy itself, and then drag it. If it’s not the main movieclip, simply drag it.

i allso have another problem, as all the copied boats will follow the menu as it is draggable, is it any way to move the copied boats to _root timeline?

excuse my bad english, and thanks at advance :sailor:

PS:thanks for great site, evrything ive learnd so far, is from here :pleased:
