I am trying to make a jigsaw puzzle where you can upload an image of a set size.

Right now the only way I can think to do that would involve loading the same image for each piece, which I don’t want to do for performance reasons.

Is there a way I can make an instance of a movieClip the same as the instance of a different movieClip?

Thanks 🙂
