[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]As you can see I have one node called “bullets” in each of the three nodes called “module”. I want to have the first set of bullets placed in dynamically created clips on the stage and when I press the next button I want that list to be replaced with the next one. [/SIZE][/FONT]
