Copy MC and Past it on different timeline

[troyhipolito]

Hello evey one.

I have an image that I am loading via "loadclip". it is embeded with in a MC about 3 level down (and it is behind a mask).

I want to just copy the image loaded and past it on or replace a MC on the _root.

Now "duplicateMovieClip()" does not have the ability to movie it out of the clip only the depth.

And attachMovie() only applies to items in the lybrary. The image loaded is dynamic and can not go that way.

Any suggestions?

I've dealt with this before and determined that there's no way to duplicate a loaded item. You'll just have to reload it. The good news is that Mozilla browsers will cache the item and reload it almost instantly. IE, however, does a whole other round trip every time you load it.

Yep, just to back up what palacajoe said, the MM docs confirm that you can't duplicate a movieclip containing externally loaded content.
