createEmptyMovieClip and duplicateMovieClip???

[deeno]

hi there!

trying to figure out why this happens...
i am creating an empty movieclip[c0], then
inside that clip another movieclip[fill] and
then i am trying to duplicate the initial
clip[c0] (which contains [fill]) but it only
duplicates [c0] without the content...

makes me crazy!!!
why does it happen?
any idea? help?

here is the code:
__________________________________________________ _____________

radius = 50;
outline = 0;

function create() {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("c0", 1);
c0.createEmptyMovieClip("fill", 2);
with (c0.fill) {
var a = radius;
var b = radius;
var j = a*0.70711;
var n = b*0.70711;
var i = j-(b-n)*a/b;
var m = n-(a-j)*b/a;
var x = Stage.width/2;
var y = Stage.height/2;
//lineStyle(outline, 0x000000, 100);
beginFill(0xff0000, 100);
moveTo(x+a, y);
curveTo(x+a, y-m, x+j, y-n);
curveTo(x+i, y-b, x, y-b);
curveTo(x-i, y-b, x-j, y-n);
curveTo(x-a, y-m, x-a, y);
curveTo(x-a, y+m, x-j, y+n);
curveTo(x-i, y+b, x, y+b);
curveTo(x+i, y+b, x+j, y+n);
curveTo(x+a, y+m, x+a, y);
}
}

create();

duplicateMovieClip("c0", "c1", 3);

trace ("c0._x: " + c0._x);
trace ("c0._h: " + c0._height);

trace ("c1._x: " + c1._x);
trace ("c1._h: " + c1._height);
