ActionScript 2.0 :: Duplicate A Movie Clip Into Another Movie Clip?

Is there a way to duplicate a movie clip into another movie clip?

So far I have only been able to get the movie clip to duplicate itself within the movie clip it is already in though I am calling the duplication from another movie clip (which is where I want it duplicated into).

Basically I have pictures (as movie clips) in a scroller. When you click on a picture I want it to duplicate that picture into another Movie Clip outside of scroller on the _root level. This outside movie clip is actually calling the duplication using onClipEvent(enterFrame). So far, though, it only duplicates itself into the same movie clip and so this duplicated picture also scrolls with the scroller (which isn't what I'm wanting).

Here is the outside movie clip's actionscript:

Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
//tried the below line as well:
// duplicateMovieClip(showPic, "previewPic", 0);

[Code]...

The above code (using either duplicateMovieClip methods) places the duplicated movie clip at _root.showPic instead of the outside movie clip.
