How to create a copy of a movie clip?

Question

Programming

Sbostvenno and the whole question. There is a certain movie clip, and you need to make a copy of it programmatically.
To be more precise: Let
's assume that I have an example.
private function onTabEvent(){
//A graphical object is created here, which is already drawn in the library
var obj = new Sword_mc;
obj.x = 400;
obj.y = 400;
addChild(obj);
obj.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MouseDown,onMouseD);
}
private function onMouseD(e:MouseEvent){
var newObj = e.currentTarget; //This is a reference to the obj object to be used later.
/*
But in this place I need to make an exact copy of newObj;
*/
}
How to do this I have no idea at all. Help me please.

Answer 3

Depending on what you mean by a copy of the movie, if directly, then
private var movi1:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
private var movi2:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
now there are 2 instances of the same movie (MovieClip is the name of your movie)
