I have drawn a spiral that you can see by double clicking the 8 oclock link [here](http://members.cox.net/hamidb4/saat31.swf).  
I would like to do the same thing using only action script, or draw the first movieclip instance and do the rest with action script. The first movieclip is a circle tweened to practically a line. I duplicated the first movieclip and rotated it 10 degree.I repeated this until I had 18 instances all together.  
Any help would greately be appreciated.
