[Flash8] simple script with Array and movement doesn't obey me! sigh. help!

1

Hej everybody,
i have a problem for what i thought was such a simple action!
After having duplicated a clip through a for action, and having placed the clips outside the stage, i want them to enter the stage, sliding on their _x coordinate.
Two problems:

  1. with my script, only the last of the 3 clips created obey the script, the other two don’t move! (MAIN PROBLEM)
  2. How could i implement this script to make them slide not at the same time, but slightly one after the other? (OPTIONAL PROBLEM) :slight_smile:
    Here is my script:
//to create the clips and position them out the stage
for (i=0; i<n.length; i++) {
    goccia = "dropMenu"+i;
    duplicateMovieClip(_root.cont.dropMenu, goccia, i+100);
    _root.cont[goccia]._y = i*200+100;
    _root.cont[goccia]._x = -70;
}
// to make the clips slide get into the stage
cont.onEnterFrame = function() {
    if (_root.cont[goccia]._x<30) {
        _root.cont[goccia]._x = _root.cont[goccia]._x+3;
    
    }
};

I feel like it should be so ■■■■ easy :puzzle:… any suggestion?
