Duplicating a movie?

[bomayed]

One thing I want to discuss here:

When you duplicate a movie , and tried to make changes to the duplicated movie, both MOVIES will be changed so that they look and act the same exact way.

How can someone , Duplicate a movie , and make changes to the duplicated movie without changing the original movie?

Am talking about movies such as the (Drag and Drop) movies.

Thanks all

Are you talking about using the "duplicateMovieClip()" command?

No , In (Flash 5) if you go to 'WINDOW' and choose 'COMMON LIBRARY' , you'll see there are couple of movie clips.

If you place a movie clip and then copy it and paste it , and then you try to change one of those clips , both clips will be changed.

How can you apply changes to only one of the clips ? That's my qustion , sorry if I wasn't so clear in the previous message.

Thanks

It will work the way you did it but rename it to something completely different..Not "copy..." The you will be able to edit them independantly...

You don't need eyes to see just a vision.
