Ello everyone, I am “trying” to experiment on have one movie clip load an external image and then telling it duplicate the movie clip with the loaded contents… is this possible? Here is what I have on the “loader” movie clip:

onClipEvent(load) {  
function \_load(img) {  
this.loadMovie(img);  
}  
}

and on the timeline I have this:

loader._load(“image\_name.jpg”);  
for(var i = 0; i \< 10; i++) {  
duplicateMovieClip(loader, "img_" + i, i+1);  
this[“img\_” + i].\_x = i \* 100;  
}

But this doesn’t seem to be working as planned. Any ideas on a work around? Many thanks!
