Here it is:

 
numMovie = 2;
//that says how many of the same movieClips will apear on screen//
for (i=2; i<=numMovie; i++) {
	Movie.duplicateMovieClip("Movie1"+i, i+100);
             //the "movie"+i is the name of the duplicated movieClip//
	_root["Movie1"+i]._x = 309.1;
	_root["Movie1"+i]._y = 181.5;
             //these are to set the duplicated movieClip somewhere so that it doesn't end up right under the first movieClip :P//
}

if you have any more questions, feel free to ask :D.
