Hi,

Inside a MovieClip I have many movie Clips like JPG and SWF files that are loaded from the server.

And I need to take some of these movie Clips to other places, like the \_root or to a other movieClip.

I´m Trying to do this with duplicateMovieClip, but it apear to be impossible.

See this exemple.  
movie = movie1.movie2.duplicateMovieClip(“moviex”, 1000);  
trace(movie);

It´s returns: \_level0.movie1.moviex

And what i´d like is: \_level0.movie

Please  
Help - me  
Thanks  
Claudio
