to duplicate a movie clip you need to have at least 1 instance on the stage. It has to be named and, if not used, hidden.

you then use duplicateMovieClip( name, new name, depth ); function to make a copy.
Example:
Say you have a movieClip named foo on stage and you want to duplicate it and name it foo2...

duplicateMovieClip("foo", "foo2", 10);

How do you want the random part to come into effect?

Hello Sir,

Please explain the code i use the your way but it did`t work . I make a clip with the an instanse name of foo and give him a simple your suggested code. But it does not work. And also sir i want to make a duplicate movie clip. Please give me a good suggestion.

Although I am new to Flash myself, I would guess that the code actually DID work. The only problem is that you have created the duplicate right on top of the original movie clip. If you add some code to move either of the movie clips you will see that there are now two instances on the stage. I tried this code:

var xmove:Number = 2;

duplicateMovieClip("foo", "foo2", 10);

onEnterFrame = function(){
foo2._x += xmove;
}
