DuplicateMovieClip?

programming flash

Hi guys…

I need help on this one… I have created a emptymovieclip which contains 1 shape and then i have a duplicateMoviclip, and it´s posistion with {_x:Number,_y:Number}

my code:

 
this.createEmptyMovieClip("shape", this.getNextHighestDepth());
 shape.beginFill(0xFF0000);
 shape.lineStyle(2,0,100)
 shape.moveTo(100,50)
 shape.lineTo(200,50)
 shape.moveTo(200,50)
 shape.lineTo(150,150);
 shape.lineTo(100,50);
 shape.endFill();
 shape._x=100;
 shape._y=70;
 
 
    shape.duplicateMovieClip("shapeCOPY", this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:50, _y:50});

So i have two questions:

i have a button, and want to trigger the event for appering of the clip. something like this:

 
 
knap_btn.onRelease= function(){
 
this.createEmptyMovieClip("shape", this.getNextHighestDepth());
 shape.beginFill(0xFF0000);
 shape.lineStyle(2,0,100)
 shape.moveTo(100,50)
 shape.lineTo(200,50)
 shape.moveTo(200,50)
 shape.lineTo(150,150);
 shape.lineTo(100,50);
 shape.endFill();
 shape._x=100;
 shape._y=70;
 
 
    shape.duplicateMovieClip("shapeCOPY", this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:50, _y:50});
}

Nothing happends…

second question:

How do i duplicate multipli MC and place the either randomly or with parameters.

Please advice.
