Ok… I tried to put the following script into my mc…

[AS]onClipEvent (load) {  
amount = 10;  
while (amount\>0) {  
duplicateMovieClip(\_root.flower, “mc”+i, i);  
setProperty(“mc”+i, \_x, random(275));  
setProperty(“mc”+i, \_y, random(275));  
setProperty(“mc”+i, \_alpha, random(275));  
setProperty(“mc”+i, \_xscale, random(50));  
setProperty(“mc”+i, \_yscale, random(50));  
i++;  
amount–;  
}  
}  
[/AS]

When I try to run it gives me this message:

```
  A script in this movie is causing flash player to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive.Do you want to abort the script?

```

… Is it something in my script how could I fix this?? I’ve attached the file.
