duplicate movie clip loading twice

[marshallhansen]

Does anyone know why my duplicate mcs are loading twice? I have a script that duplicates a set of mcs and then a script that runs some functions on those movie clips, however after everything is done the duplicated mcs are loading again negating the implementation of the functions.

thanks

whats the code ?
then we can help you out !

sorry for the double post

[marshallhansen]

i was hoping that someone would be able to tell me about some sort of bug with flash that causes the double duplication.

this is on the frame where everything initializes...

function createPocketClips(){
if(view_array[m] == "0") {
duplicateMovieClip(mcVests.mcVestFront.mcFrontPosi tions["mcPosition" + position_array[m]].mcFrontPockets, "mcFrontPockets" + m, depth);
loadMovie(sku_array[m] + ".swf", mcVests.mcVestFront.mcFrontPositions["mcPosition" + position_array[m]]["mcFrontPockets" + m]);
}else if(view_array[m] == "1"){
duplicateMovieClip(mcVests.mcVestBack.mcBackPositi ons["mcPosition" + position_array[m]].mcBackPockets, "mcBackPockets" + m, depth);
loadMovie(sku_array[m] + ".swf", mcVests.mcVestBack.mcBackPositions["mcPosition" + position_array[m]]["mcBackPockets" + m]);
}
depth++;
setCords();
}

function setCords(){
for(a = 0; a < act_pos_length; a++) {
if(position_array[m] == act_pos_array[a]) {
if(view_array[m] == "0") {
mcVests.mcVestFront.mcFrontPositions["mcPosition" + act_pos_array[a]]["mcFrontPockets" + m]._x = x_cord_array[a];
mcVests.mcVestFront.mcFrontPositions["mcPosition" + act_pos_array[a]]["mcFrontPockets" + m]._y = y_cord_array[a];
}else if(view_array[m] == "1"){
mcVests.mcVestBack.mcBackPositions["mcPosition" + act_pos_array[a]]["mcBackPockets" + m]._x = x_cord_array[a];
mcVests.mcVestBack.mcBackPositions["mcPosition" + act_pos_array[a]]["mcBackPockets" + m]._y = y_cord_array[a];
}
}
}
}

function makeButton(){
duplicateMovieClip(mcButtons.mcButtons2.cow, "button" + m, depth);
mcButtons.mcButtons2["button" + m]._y = yPosition;
mcButtons.mcButtons2["button" + m].bName2 = name_array[m];
mcButtons.mcButtons2["button" + m].bName = name_array[m];
yPosition = yPosition + 15;
depth++;
setButtonVars();
}

function setButtonVars(){
mcButtons.mcButtons2["button" + m].posClip = ["mcPosition" + position_array[m]];
mcButtons.mcButtons2["button" + m].pos = position_array[m];
mcButtons.mcButtons2["button" + m].id = m;
mcButtons.mcButtons2["button" + m].bStatus = status_array[m];
init_array_length = init_array.length;
if(status_array[m] == "1"){
init_array[init_array_length] = "button" + m;
}
}

//create pocket movie clips
for(m = 0; m < num_prods; m++){
createPocketClips();
makeButton();
}

in the next frame....

for(i = 0; i < init_array.length; i++){
mcButtons.mcButtons2[init_array[i]].init();
}

stop();


the original pocket movie clip that is duplicated has...

onClipEvent(load){
this._visible = 0;
}

then the above init function turns certain pockets visible however after all of the above code has run the duplicated clips load again turning the visible pockets invisible again

this is of course incomplete, i've left out all the creation of arrays and such.

Still looking for help on this if anyone has an insight.

Thanks
