52 ActionScript language elements
Example
In the following example, a new movie clip instance is created called
img_mc. An image is
loaded into the movie clip, and then the
img_mc clip is duplicated. The duplicated clip is
called
newImg_mc, and this new clip is moved on the Stage so it does not overlap the original
clip, and the same image is loaded into the second clip.
this.createEmptyMovieClip("img_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
img_mc.loadMovie("http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/images/image1.jpg");
duplicateMovieClip(img_mc, "newImg_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
newImg_mc._x = 200;
newImg_mc.loadMovie("http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/images/image1.jpg");
To remove the duplicate movie clip, you could add this code for a button called
myButton_btn.
this.myButton_btn.onRelease = function(){
removeMovieClip(newImg_mc);
};
