hi, i’m trying to have the text and position changed of a duplicated movie containing a text button. does any one knows how this would be possible?

so you have the movie “options” thats being duplicated.  
in the movie you have the text named sub

for (i=0; i\<5; i++) {  
option.duplicateMovieClip(“option”+i, i) }

probably basic actionscripting, but i’ve been trying more than an hour without any result.
