copied into the duplicate movie clip. Movie clips that are created with the
duplicateMovieClip()
method on their parent. If the parent movie clip is deleted, the duplicate movie clip is also
deleted. If you used
MovieClip.loadMovie()
clip, the contents of the SWF file are not duplicated. This means that you cannot save
bandwidth by loading a JPEG, GIF, PNG, or SWF file and then duplicating the movie clip.
Contrast this method with the global function version of
global version of this method requires a parameter that specifies the target movie clip to
duplicate. Such a parameter is unnecessary for the MovieClip class version, because the target
of the method is the movie clip instance on which the method is invoked. Moreover, the
global version of
duplicateMovieClip()
the return value of a reference to the newly created MovieClip instance.
