hello gurus,

i had four “widgets” on the screen that i had following around another “master” movieclip but repelling from oneanother…

initially i used this code in each clips timeline:  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
and then set their new \_x and \_y depending ont he position of the master and other widgets.

this worked fine… however i wanted to dynamically generate the widgets so i could have as many onscreen as were present in an array on my main timeline.

i have been able to generate the clips fine, but i cannot use [onClipEvent (enterFrame) {] on them as they are in the main timeline! if i set up a “cheating loop” and run it through 200 times updating the widgets movement and they move to their correct position…

how do i have the array generated mc’s update their \_x and \_y position continuously?

regards and TIA  
JB
