It’s pretty easy and I could just post one of those why dont you search replies cause this topic gets covered a lot but I’ll save you some time and trouble since this is a help forum…
Put this in flash
[AS]
function delayMyMovies(){
dot.duplicateMovieClip(“dot”+num,num);
mc=this[“dot”+num];
mc._x=gridxi; //you’ll have to figure out the math here to make the locations right
mc._y=gridyj;// I would suggest using _root.num somehow
_root.num++;
if(_root.num>numberOfMoviesNeeded){ //this is just for cleanup no need to have variables that arent used anymore
clearInterval(delayDuplicate);
delete _root.num;
}
}
delayDuplicate = setInterval(“delayMyMovies”,1000); //this delays one second the 1000 is milliseconds
[/AS]
If you have any sort of trouble with this let me see your modifications and I will do what I can to help you get it working.
Good Luck,
Shawn
That im afraid all looks foreign to me. ive pasted it into my movie but i just seem to get the one mc. Is there any chance you could explain what youve written so i could learn please.
Thanks bruv
Martin//…
i can explain mine
when the clip is loaded it sets a variable to zero and adds one to it every frame until it equals your number (_root.delay) and does it to every mc - simple
hi uudens, thanks for taking the time to do that. Your explanation makes things alot clearer …
I still seem to be struggling. here is have my origional code with yours
