I am designing a flash program and have run into a problem. I began using the duplicateMovieClip function and it works great. However I would like to be able to email an image created using the duplicated (and altered) Movie clips. I think that I need to target a movie clip in order to email the specific image. I now think that I should have used the attachMovie function rather than the Duplicate function. I guess my question is: Is there anyway to duplicate a movieclip into a target rather than a level? If you want to look at my fla it is here.

This is not the real project, but a small file size version of it. Basically I woud like to be able to have a user e-mail the image that they create. Currently the duplicateMovieClip function just duplicates the clip to a level. I would like them to be duplicated to the "pad". I am pretty new to flash, and this may be a very easy problem to solve, but I am very frustrated with it. Any help would be great. Let me know if you have any questions about my question. Thanks.
