[color=blue]c\_mc2 = \_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“main\_text”, 4);  
c\_mc2.\_x = 0;  
c\_mc2.\_y = 359;[/color]

If i use this method to create an empty clip and then once i am done with the clip i unload the movie which was previously in it, what happens to the clip. Do i have to re-create it if i want to reuse the empty movie clip again with the same name?

please help me someone!
