ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash MX: Getting A Duplicate To Stay Put?

I have a movie clip, that sucessfully duplicates when a button is clicked.

I would like the clip to "stick" to the co-ordinates of the mouse after the click, but it instead it "sticks" to the last click of the mouse then moves to the new co-ordinates on the next click.

This is my code for the "stick" action:

Code:
onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
n = n + 5;
this._x = _root._xmouse;
this._y = _root._ymouse;
this._rotation = n;
}
