The global form of duplicateMovieClip() lacks the following abilities added to MovieClip.

duplicateMovieClip() in Flash 6:

• The global form does not include support for the

initObject parameter (used to initial-

ize properties of the newly created clip).

• The global form does not return a reference to the duplicated clip.

Example

// Copy the ball_mc clip and name the copy ball2_mc

duplicateMovieClip(ball_mc, "ball2_mc", 0);

// Move the new ball2_mc clip over so we can see it

ball2_mc._x += 100;

#endinitclip Pragma

ends a movie clip initialization code block

Flash 6

#endinitclip

Description

The #endinitclip pragma ends a special block of code (begun with #initclip) that initial-

izes a movie clip symbol before any instances of it are created. It can appear only on frame

1 of a movie clip symbol (it causes a compile-time error elsewhere) and must be preceded

by

#initclip. For complete details, see #initclip.
