Sorta the same bases of the falling snow but specific x value locations. On one of my frames I have a for loop which takes the a movieclip and duplicates it 30 times. Now in the movieclip I have the onClipEvent(load) where I define the \_x and \_y value. Some how I need to get the movieclip to appreat every 20 pixels from the last one. I was thinking of using the i variable in the for loop but by the time I get to the clip event the for loop is to the max of 30. Is the anyway I can declare \_x value of a duplicate movieclip in the for loop. I just need the code snip that set the duplicated movieclip to -20+i\*20. Anyway have the code snippet if there is one? Thanks a bunch! 😉
