Hey guys, I'm kinda new to Flash and actionscripting and I'm trying to set up a virtual DJ station. I have all my movie clips, and I still need to import the sound clips, but I've run into a bit of a jam. I'm trying to use the same movie clip twice, as two instances, but when I edit one, it edits the other. I'm wondering if I will have to make a movie clip for each turntable, or if theres a way to have two instances of one movie clip be treated as individuals
Any help would be great, thanks!

Hey John welcome,
You wouldn't be able to use the same clip twice, if you want them to be different. Best thing to do is just Duplicate the movieclip (right click over your MovieClip in the library and choose duplicate, give it a new name etc.) In the grand scale of things if it’s only a static MC it won't make much difference, and if it does Iam sure it would be negligible.
