duplicateMovieClip() method is called. Variables in the parent movie clip are not
copied into the duplicate movie clip. Movie clips that have been created using
duplicateMovieClip() are not duplicated if you call duplicateMovieClip() on their parent.
If the parent movie clip is deleted, the duplicate movie clip is also deleted. .
