RE: FLASH: Possible to duplicate a duplicated movie clip?

[Waldo Smeets]

I think that you didn't specify a depth in the "duplicate movie

clip"-action. When you duplicate a movie clip, you've got to specify in

which depth it's got to be placed. If you choose the same depth as the movie

clip that's going to be duplicated (or if you don't specify the depth), the

new movie clip will replace the old one.

So select a higher depth.


Macromedia's Help Pages say:

"Depth determines how the duplicated movie clip appears when overlapping

other objects. Think of depth levels in terms of the stacking order with

level 0 the initial level. Each successive duplicate movie clip needs to be

given a depth, otherwise each duplicate will replace the previous clip at

level 0. Duplicate movie clips are always on top of the original movie

clip."


I hope this helps. If not, please let me know.


Waldo

Onderwerp: FLASH: Possible to duplicate a duplicated movie clip?



I have a duplicated movie clip named _level0/Menu1Item8.  In the action code

for a button that resides in this clip, I then duplicate this duplicated

clip and name the new clip SelectedItem.  When I try to use the new clip as

the target of a tell target action, I get the following error:


Target not found: Target="SelectedItem" Base="_level0/Menu1Item8"


Is it just not possible to duplicate a duplicated movie clip, or do I need

to add something to my path on my tell target (Begin Tell Target

("SelectedItem"))?  Sorry if this is a stupid question.  I ordered John�s

book right after it was announced (signed version from CrownMall), but still

haven�t received it.  Has anyone else?


Thanks,
