Hi.
I was messing around with movieclip duplication the other day for part of a project and I came across something that made no sense to me whatsoever.

When running this code in the main timeline it works fine, however if I add
Code:
_root.btn1.onRelease = function(){
to the top of it and try to duplicate these clips on a press of a button, it doesn't do anything...

Code:
_root.btn1.onRelease = function(){ //*doesn't function if I add this
for (var i:Number = 0; i<4; i++) {
	circle2.duplicateMovieClip("circleCopy"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth());
	this["circleCopy"+i]._x = Math.random()*200;
	this["circleCopy"+i]._y = Math.random()*200;
}
} //*


Any ideas anyone?


Thanks guys
