FLASH: duplicateMovieClip vs object.duplicateMovieClip

[jason stanley]

so i seem to be missing something here with the new actionscript...


for instance, i have on offstage mc called "box" and a script in frame one

of a oneframe movie that's attempting to duplicate two instances of it. one

using the oldschool way, and the other using the new object-based system.


this works just fine...


duplicateMovieClip ("box", "box1", 10);

setProperty ("box1", _x, "200");

setProperty ("box1", _y, "100");


this on the other hand? nothing...


box.duplicateMovieClip(box2, 20);

setProperty ("box2", _x, "150");

setProperty ("box2", _y, "150");


so what's up? as far as the actionscript dictionary is telling me, the

second method should work just as well.
