Ok, I’m pulling a Clip out of the Library and Duplicating it so many times with this code. It works fine. I would like to know what the best way to remove them all at once is, and also to be able to click a button and have the number that is duplicated on the stage change. I’ve tried a couple of ways for that but can’t quite get it to work. A little help is appreciated. Thanks.

\_global.amount = 100;  
\_root.attachMovie(“Ball”, “ball1”, 1);  
for (i=0; i\<\_global.amount; i++) {  
scale = (random(75));  
duplicateMovieClip(ball1, “ball\_clip”+i, i);  
setProperty(“ball\_clip”+i, \_x, random(500));  
setProperty(“ball\_clip”+i, \_y, random(350));  
i++;  
}
