Duplicating and removing movie clips

Use the Duplicate Movie Clip statement to create an instance of a movie clip while the movie is playing. When you duplicate a movie clip, the new movie clip starts at frame 1 even if the original movie clip was on another frame when duplicated.

Use the Remove Movie Clip statement to delete a movie clip instance that had been created with Duplicate Movie Clip.

Duplicate/Remove Movie Clip has the following parameters:

	Action sets the statement to duplicate or remove the movie clip.
	Target specifies the movie clip to duplicate or remove. Click the button labelled "abc" and choose Target Editor to specify a target visually, or enter a target path in the field. See Specifying targets.
	New Name is the instance name for the duplicated movie clip. Provide only the name, not a target path. Then, once named, the instance can be targeted from another action.
	Depth determines how the duplicated movie clip appears when overlapping other objects. Think of depth levels in terms of the stacking order with level 0 the initial level. Each successive duplicate movie clip needs to be given a depth, otherwise each duplicate will replace the previous clip at level 0. Duplicate movie clips are always on top of the original movie clip.
	Remove duplicate movie clip changes the statement to Remove Movie Clip. Duplicated movie clips do not disappear unless the parent movie clip disappears, or you use the Remove Movie Clip statement.

Note: Variables are not copied into the new movie clip, and the duplicate movie clip starts at the first frame.
