How can i change the parent of a movieclip.. i want to load it in a different container on top of the original parent.

i don't know if you can just switch the hierarchy of a clip. in as2 there is a global duplicateMovieClip function and a MovieClip.duplicateMovieClip method. you could make a copy and then remove the original.
