Hi Fellow AS Gurus,

I’m beginner AS scripter and Im trying to make this simple duplicateMovieClip(); experiment to work.

The objective is to duplicate movieclips 5 columns by 5 rows.

My choice of AS is:

function myThumbNails () {  
for (i = 1; i\<26; i++) {  
duplicateMovieClip (thumb, [“thumb” + i],this.getNextHighestDepth());  
}

… dunno whats next … pls help !!!
