how to duplicate already loaded JPEGS

[ilanium7]

Quite simple question. When I try to run the code below, the frontImage_mc does replicate as an object, but withouth the JPEG file that was loaded to it.

Is that the same thing as with variables from original movie not being cloned in the duplicate movie or is it something else!

Thanks for any input on that!

photo_url = "

this.createEmptyMovieClip("frontImage_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
frontImage_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("imageContainer_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());

var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.loadClip(photo_url, frontImage_mc.imageContainer_mc);

frontImage_mc.duplicateMovieClip("backImage_mc", getNextHighestDepth());

backImage_mc._x = 200;
backImage_mc._y = 200;

You cannot duplicate dynamically loaded JPEG, so the easiest way is to load it into a new MC again. (There's a known work-around (load JPEG in a nested MC then dupe) but that doesn't work for me.)
