use different levels and different names. otherwise, funny things
can happen.

I am a bit confised with duplicateMovieClip () and the issue of levels.
Can I duplicate clips on the same level, but with different names?
Or each duplicate must be on a separate level, regarless of its name?

Thanks in advance.

Yes

Depths are a little more limited .. there is a great article at kirupa on
depths...

they are depths .. not levels .. and yes . .you can skip depths/levels.

Read the kirupa article and you'll know pretty much all there is to know
about depths :)

I see. How many levels can one create? Unlimited?
Also, can one create objects and skip level numbers, like:

duplicateMovieClip (cliptoduplicate,newname,10);
duplicateMovieClip (cliptoduplicate,newname,21);
