flash cant duplicate a created MC w/ image loaded into it?

[eron19]

is it not possible to duplicate a created movieclip with a jpg loaded into it?

[catreya]

can u elaborate more on what u want to do? I suspect you could.

[eron19]

when u use.......
_root.createEmptyMovieClip( yada yada );

then can u go duplicateMovieClip( yada yada );

no right? b/c im having a reaaaal hard time w/it....

[Jubba]

yeah, I do it all the time. Is the image loaded dynamically?

[catreya]

i have written the script from the top of my head and I cant test it out now.


_root.createEmptyMovieClip("movieloader",1);
/* _root.movieloader._width = 200;
_root.movieloader._height = 200;*/
_root.movieloader._x = 228;
_root.movieloader._y = 150;
_root.movieloader._alpha = 100;
_root.movieloader.loadMovie("movie/jpg");
_root.movieloader.dupicateMovieClip("newname",2);



It should work. Give it a try. If not then perhaps the some script expert out here can help!

I don't think the loaded image will transfer over to the new clip... I think you'll need to call the jpg file into the new MC for it tow ork correctly, but don't quote me on that...

[catreya]

if what jubba says is right, then you might need to add one last line:


_root.newname.loadMovie("movie/jpg",2);

That should do the trick.

Let me know if it worked.
