Ok, I have a simple duplicate movie clip for loop, but I want the duplication of the movie clip to be delayed by a setInterval. This is what I have so far:[AS]myNumber = 10;  
for (count=0; count\<myNumber; count++) {  
myClip.duplicateMovieClip(“myClip”+count, count);  
this[“myClip”+count].clipText.text = count;  
this[“myClip”+count].\_x = (this[“myClip”+count].\_width+2)\*count;  
}[/AS]

works fine.  
How could I add a setInterval to delay that script?
