[CS3] Actionscript 2.0 -- Attaching Duplicate movies to one large holder

[SamArrowhead]

I've duplicated a bunch of movieclips with something like:

movie1.movie_to_dup.duplicateMovieClip("dup_name", this.getNextHighestDepth());

Now, what I want to do is put all those duplicates into one container movie.

How is that done?

[moagrius]

you can't in 2. you can in 3.

the duplicate will always have the same parent as the original. the simple answer is just to put the original movie you're duplicating in the container, then duplicate from there.
