HELP!!!! Duplicate Object

Question

Hi all,
I have been working on an animation where an object is
supposed to vibrate and rotate on itself within a specific area of
my stage. I have been successful in having the object vibrate,
rotate and start at the specified location. What I am having
trouble with, is creating about 60 instances of the same object to
move in the area I specified. All I get instead, is the one object
to vibrate about and rotate. I am using AS2 and the following is
the code I have attached to the "particle_mc".
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._rotation = (this._rotation + (3))%360;
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
width = 330; // area where animation should be segregated
into
height = 380;
this._x = 577 //Math.round(Math.random()*width);
this._y = 347; //Math.round(Math.random()*height);
cx = this._x;
cy = this._y;
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x = cx+(Math.random()*7);
this._y = cy+(Math.random()*7);
Also in Frame 1 I put this code
i = 0;
while (i<60) {
//duplicateMovieClip("particle_mc"+i, i);
particle_mc.duplicateMovieClip("particle_mc"+i, i);
i++;
hoping to get multiple instances of the object, but no
success!
Any HELP would be greatly appreciated

Answer 1

you are getting multiple instances. they're just going to be
overlying each other.
p.s. there's no need for 3 enterFrame loops. one will
work.
