can be created while playing the movie file. If
the parent movie clip is deleted, then the duplicated
movie clip is also deleted.
Syntax:
duplicate

the name of the movie clip.
new
name is the unique identifier of the movie clip. depth
is the stacking order of the duplicate movie clip. The
first movie clip will be given a depth of zero and the
next is given 1 and so on. To avoid this overlapping,
specify the depth level properly.

{
duplicate movie clip ("car", car +x, x);
}
where
