I have his piece of code.

```auto
 x = random(400);
y = random(400);
var i:Number = 0;
while (i++<5) {
    m.duplicateMovieClip("m", this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:x, _y:y})+1;
}

```

I know its duplicating 5 times (tested it with alpha), but the random positioning isnt working.  
It places them all on the same position, but I want them all to be on different places.  
Anyone a hint for me ?  
thx !
