hi guys,

pls give me a solution as to how to duplicate a MovieClip 10 times using ‘duplicateMovieClip’& place each instance  
of the new clip with equal spacing when the frame starts.

. **instance name** of my MC on stage i.e. to b duplicated is \*\*bt\_mc \*\*& it is the **y position** i.e is to b changed.
