I have made a application where users can select an object, which duplicates and then can be dragged and dropped (leaving the original). Now, I want to add a trash can function to the whole thing. Here is the script it all.  
on (press) {  
if (this.\_name.substr(0, 4) != “dupe”) {  
_root.int\_bldCnt++;  
var str\_trgName = "dupe_"+\_root.int\_bldCnt++;  
this.duplicateMovieClip(str\_trgName, \_root.int\_bldCnt);  
} else {  
var str\_trgName = this.\_name;  
}  
\_root[str\_trgName].startDrag(true);  
}  
on (release, releaseOutside) {  
stopDrag();  
if (this.droptarget == “\_level0.trashcan”) {  
this.removeMovieClip();  
}  
}  
The \_level0.trashcan part is not working. Help anyone? skee
