If you dont want to use seperate .as file, follow this steps:

1- assign AS linkage to box movieClip (in library panel):

enter image description here

2- Select frame 1 on the timeline, and paste this code in the Actions panel:

var boxes:Array=[];
//var box:Box=new Box();
//addChild(box);
box.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,generateBox);
function generateBox(e:MouseEvent):void{
    var newBox:Box=new Box();
    newBox.x = e.target.x;
    newBox.y = e.target.y;
    newBox.startDrag();
    newBox.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stopD);
    newBox.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,startD);
    boxes.push(newBox);
    addChild(newBox);
}
function startD(e:MouseEvent):void{
    e.target.startDrag();
}
function stopD(e:MouseEvent):void{
    e.target.stopDrag();
}

Unfortunately, there's no duplicateMovieClip analog in AS3, so you'll have to create a Class for your box movieClip template. Let's say it will be called BoxTemplate. (You can google how to create Classes for your library object). Add a Class with this name and add this code (event subscription in the constructor and a private event listener). You'll get something like this:

package
{
    public class BoxTemplate
    {
        public function BoxTemplate()
        {
            addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMouseUp);
        }
    }

    private function onMouseUp(e:MouseEvent):void 
    {
        stopDrag();
    }
}

Leave your present instance of this symbol on the stage. This is your code in the frame:

import flash.event.MouseEvent

box.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);

function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    var newBox:BoxTemplate = new BoxTemplate();
    newBox.x = e.target.x;
    newBox.y = e.target.y;
    addChild(newBox);
    newBox.startDrag();
}

It will allow you to infinitely clone your boxes. Of course, you can add all of them in the array to keep the references.
