i’ve got this really simple particle system… what i can’t figure out is how to duplicate it and still have it work. if you take a look at my .fla, you’ll see that I have attempted to dupe the mc and particle system by duping the mc and having the same AS on it. I also duped the original code on the 2nd frame which multiplies the mc’s to create more particles…

maybe somebody can tell me what’s going wrong here. i’m trying to achieve a sprinkler head effect so i need to dupe this effect to fill in what a real fire sprinkler would do…

any help is greatly appreciated… i’m still kind of new at controlling mc’s in this fashion!
