[FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]I got the following code from a tutorial regarding duplicate movie clips. But I got only 2 movie clips on stage. Anyone can explain.

amount = 50;  
while(amount\>0) {  
duplicateMovieClip ([COLOR=#ff00ff]target, new mc name, mc depth[/COLOR]);  
i = i + 1;  
amount = amount-1;  
}[/SIZE][/FONT]
