duplicating movie problems

[alienhead]

i'm duplicating a movie symbol, and giving it a different name, but when i put different actions on it, it changes the actions for the origional clip too.

how can i duplicate a clip, and make it an indipendent movie symbol?

Hi alienhead,

Am guessing here that you are working with MX ...
Have you tried associating actions with particular clips using dot syntax from the main timeline?

_root.clip5.onRelease = function(){
 //scripts to be executed just by clip5 (instance name)
}
