I have some problem with duplicateMovieClip and loadMovie

[tusat]

When i use this code

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("test",_root.getNextHig hestDepth());

//ON A BUTTON
on(release)
{
duplicateMovieClip(_root.test,"test2",_root.getNex tHighestDepth());
trace(test2);
}

Output is "_level0.test2" -> it's ok.

But when i used this code

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("test",_root.getNextHig hestDepth());
_root.test.loadMovie('cow.swf');

//ON A BUTTON, USED FOR LOAD FILE SWF COMPLETED
on(release)
{
duplicateMovieClip(_root.test,"test2",_root.getNex tHighestDepth());
trace(test2);
}

Now Output is "undefined" !!!

Anything wrong ? Please help me.

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("test", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
_root["test"].createEmptyMovieClip("hold", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
_root.test["hold"].loadMovie('cow.swf');

Thanks for reply.

But the code dublicateMoveClip will create only a emptyMovieClip name "test2", not include movieclip "hold" and "cow.swf".
I want the code which can clone "test" to "test2" include anything in "test".

Anybody can help me ?

duplicateMovieClip() won't duplicate a movie clip containing dynamically loaded content using loadMovie() or MovieClipLoader() class's loadClip() methods. But with Flash 8, you can use the BitmapData() class to attach the property of your movie clip, essentially the content, to another movie clip using attachBitmap(). Go check out my blog I just put up a post with sample code I don't want to repeat here.

hello,

quite interesting. I tried with an image, and it works. I tried with a scripted animation in an external swf, but this time, could not make it work.
