I am trying to duplicate a movie for a bullet hole when the user clicks a button hole is sapposed to appear but its not working. here is the code I have inside my bullet hole

onClipEvent(load){  
i = 0  
}  
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {  
i++;  
duplicateMovieClip(\_root.bullethole, “bullethole”+i, i);  
\_root[“bullethole”+i].\_x = \_root.crosshair1.\_x;  
\_root[“bullethole”+i].\_y = \_root.crosshair1.\_y;  
trace(i)  
}

It duplicates but also removes previous bullet holes. This is what trace out puts
