setting vars in instantiated mc's

[raoul]

Hi,

I use this to create new instances of a movieclip:

var myOnStageClip:MovieClip = this.text_mc;
var myLinkage:Class = Class(getDefinitionByName(getQualifiedClassName(myOnStageClip)));
var myDuplicateClip:MovieClip = new myLinkage();

Setting properties of components inside this mc works fine:

myDuplicateClip.text1.text = "something";

However there are some vars in this mc on the the first frame, something like:

var myurl:String;

When I set this var in the code after the mc is duplicated:

var myOnStageClip:MovieClip = this.text_mc;
var myLinkage:Class = Class(getDefinitionByName(getQualifiedClassName(myOnStageClip)));
var myDuplicateClip:MovieClip = new myLinkage();

myDuplicateClip.text1.text = "something";

myDuplicateClip.myurl = "http://www......";

trace(myDuplicateClip.myurl) returns the contents of the var correctly.

However, when duplicating the movie clip, another movie clip is also duplicated with a var referencing the first duplicated movie clip:

var myOnStageClip1:MovieClip = this.drag_mc;
var myLinkage1:Class = Class(getDefinitionByName(getQualifiedClassName(myOnStageClip1)));
var myDuplicateClip1:MovieClip = new myLinkage1();

myDuplicateClip1.source_mc = myDuplicateClip;

The second movieclip has an eventlistner:

function MouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void{
    trace("url" + source_mc.myurl + "   " + source_mc.text1.text);
}

The trace comment outputs:

url: something

The var myurl in souce_mc is empty!

I hope I have explained the problem clearly. Does anyone have an idea of what is going on here?

Thanks,
Raoul
