Suppose i have a movie clip with some actions on it (say its a obstacle)
now i want to place this movie clip on several places on the stage. I manually select command duplicate symbol and place it here and there.
but the actions associated with it are lost. and i have to again paste the code for that movie clip
is there a way to duplicate the movie clip with the action script intact.
thank you

This is precisely what classes are for. :P
#include <stdio.h>
char*p="#include <stdio.h>%cchar*p=%c%s%c;%cmain() {printf(p,10,34,p,34,10);}";
main() {printf(p,10,34,p,34,10);}

Place an instance on stage, with the actions on it, then simply copy/paste multiple times.
It's either that or use (AS2) Duplicated Movie Clips/attachMovie to replicate an instance on stage or from the library. If you're doing that, you can add your actions as you create the new MC.
And then there's always classes, as Nano says, but they killed my grandma so I don't like them.

*is confused*
#include <stdio.h>
char*p="#include <stdio.h>%cchar*p=%c%s%c;%cmain() {printf(p,10,34,p,34,10);}";
main() {printf(p,10,34,p,34,10);}

Your grandma was obviously not strong in the force.

I'm not sure which approach you're taking
Drag one instance of a movie clip from the library to the stage. Select it, on stage, and press F9. Paste your actions. Then just copy that on-stage MC and paste it as many times as you want, the code will come with it.
