I’m trying to create 49 total objects, each 50x50 px. And position them in 7 rows and 7 columns. I think I must use nested for loops but this is all Ive come up with. [AS]for(i=1;i\<=7;i++) {  
for(i2=1;i2\<=7;i2++) {  
duplicateMovieClip(\_root.tMain,“targ”+i+i2,i+i2);  
\_root[“targ”+i+i2].\_x = i \* 50;  
\_root[“targ”+i+i2].\_y = i2 \* 50;  
}  
}[/AS]
