What is the best way to migrate duplicateMovieClip to AS3?

Question

Hi,
In our project, we have seperate controller file for all the
code and seperate for graphical assets. I mean, they both generate
seperate swf files. Controller actually load the graphical assetts
by Loader. I am still using Flash9 preview, as it will take a
couple of days to get licences for CS3.
The problem is, I have a movie clip inside the graphical
assetts file, and it used to duplicate just fine in flash 9. Now I
also gave it a a class name ItemMC and exported for action script.
But it is giving me this error.
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable ItemMC is not defined.
while doing this
var item_mc:MovieClip = new ItemMC();
I also tried using getQualifiedClassName and
getDefinitionByName using the existing instance of ItemMC, but it
didn't work either. It was returning the right class name of ItemMC
but it is still not instantiable. Any suggestions?

When you give a MC a class name in the linkage properties you
are not making
that MC a class that you can instance using new. That is for
defining a
custom class that you wrote which can extend the MovieClip
class.
