[F8] duplicate movie clip and new motion tween problem

[cov_dan]

Hi I am currently having a problem creating movie clips.

I have created a movie clip which is an animation containing 5 different layers and 3 different motion tweens. I duplicate this movie clip and wish to change one of the motion tween's but when I change the motion tween in the new movie clip, it also changes the motion tween in the old movie clip.

I have tried removing the motion tween in the new duplicated movie clip, and creating a new motion tween but this still gives me the same problem as above where the original movie clip now contains the new motion tween.

Please help.

Thanks,

Dan

that's because the MC on the stage is just an instance of the object in the library. So changing anything inside the instance is equal to changing the object in the library.

the solution is to create another object in the library.
go to the library, right-click your MC, click "Duplicate".
work on the duplicated MC.
