How can I duplicate a mc to generate an i/f like the blockbusters game? Its driving me mad. I can do something similer using the following code:

var counter = 0;  
var even = 0;  
var xvar = 0;  
var yvar = 0;  
do {  
duplicateMovieClip(pol, [“pol”+counter], this.getNextHighestDepth());  
if (counter%2 == 0) {  
xvar = xvar+57.9;  
yvar = yvar+31.1;  
\_root[“pol”+counter].\_x = xvar;  
\_root[“pol”+counter].\_y = yvar;  
} else {  
xvar = xvar+55.4;  
yvar = yvar-31.1;  
\_root[“pol”+counter].\_x = xvar;  
\_root[“pol”+counter].\_y = yvar;  
}  
\_root.pol.\_visible = 0;  
\_root[“pol”+counter].onPress = function() {  
\_root.anim.gotoAndPlay(2);  
};  
\_root.counter++;  
trace(counter);  
} while (counter\<=5);

Any suggestions?
