mhhh can anyone tell me why the round mc wont duplicate into a box, but makes an ugly pyramid with the wrong coordinates on top of that ???

here's what's on the duplicate button


on(release){
for(m=1; m<=5; m++) {
for(i=1; i<=5; i++) {
drag0.duplicateMovieClip(["drag"+i+"_"+m],i*m);
setProperty (["drag"+i+"_"+m], _x, drag0._x+i*30);
setProperty (["drag"+i+"_"+m], _y, drag0._y+m*30);
trace("drag"+i+"_"+m)
}
}
}

yea mon, I think its the depth you're assigning the duplicated clips isn't necessary unique so some clips are getting overwritten

this is your line of duplication code:



drag0.duplicateMovieClip(["drag"+i+"_"+m],i*m);


try something more like this:


++ClipCount;
drag0.duplicateMovieClip(["drag"+i+"_"+m],ClipCount);


should do the job
let me know if it works ;)

that's right, m_andrews808. =)

and you could use the initObject, mlk. ;)

drag0.duplicateMovieClip("drag"+count++, count, {_x:drag0._x+i*30, _y:drag0._y+m*30});
