duplicateMovieClip

hi

why when i do "duplicatemovieclip"
i can't control the duplicated mc?

this is my code

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if(b1hold) {
duplicateMovieClip(_root.b1, _root.b4, 1)
_root.b4._alpha = 50
_root.b4.startDrag(true);
}
}

when i do it i just can't conyrol the duplicated mc :\

if u can help me so.. thanks ahead z00m

Hi, try :

_root.b1.duplicateMovieClip("b4", 1);

thank you very much! it did work but... now another weird problem, this is what i am doing
--------------------------------------------------------
on(press) {
duplicateMovieClip(_root.asd, "nana", 1);
startDrag(_root.nana);
_root.nana._alpha = 50
_root.nana.onRelease = function() {
stopDrag();
}
}

it duplicates fine drags fine changes alpha fine
but it won't do the "stopdrag" command
what am i doing wrong?

and another thing

when i drag it the dragged mc it's still a button
is there any way to make the dragged mc to not read as a button? thanks ahead, z00m

Why don't you just put it in another "on" statement?



on(press) {
duplicateMovieClip(_root.asd, "nana", 1);
startDrag(_root.nana);
_root.nana._alpha = 50
}
on(release){
stopDrag();
}

i did... it didn't work

Hi, I dont think it will work as you expect. For nana's on(release) function to be activated it must first be pressed. Your not doing that. Your starting its drag in side another clip. This is what you want to do:

on(press) {
_root.asd.duplicateMovieClip("nana", 1);
_root.nana.startDrag();
_root.nana._alpha = 50
}

on(release){
_root.nana.stopDrag();
}

I altered the grammer slightly. It's essentially the same as Red|5's code. Try that and see if it works.
