ok here is the AS for the main scene , layer ,

[COLOR=Blue]Comment : ::::::::: Our constants ::::::  
Set Variable: “TotalRubs” = 7  
We’ll need the height of the rub so we get it  
Set Variable: “RubHeight” = GetProperty (“Rub”,\_height)  
Then we input now the label we want for each rub (assuming we’ve got 7)  
Note that all values of them are character string with ""  
Comment : -----------------------------------------------  
Set Variable: “LabelRub1” = "I"  
Comment : -----------------------------------------------  
Set Variable: “LabelRub2” = "am"  
Comment : -----------------------------------------------  
Set Variable: “LabelRub3” = "learning"  
Comment : -----------------------------------------------  
Set Variable: “LabelRub4” = "to"  
Comment : -----------------------------------------------  
Set Variable: “LabelRub5” = "create"  
Comment : -----------------------------------------------  
Set Variable: “LabelRub6” = "awesome"  
Comment : -----------------------------------------------  
Set Variable: “LabelRub7” = “menu”

Comment : ::::::::: Dupplicating part ::::::  
let’s always initialize our counter before “Loop” action :  
Set Variable: “n” = 0  
Do actions in loop as many time as our “TotalRubs” var  
Loop While (nDO NOT FORGET to increase our counter !  
Set Variable: “n” = n+1  
Our var (“PosY”) must be “dynamic” because there will be a different one for each rub.you must fill three parameters (target, new name, depth).  
Duplicate Movie Clip (“Rub”, n, n\*10)  
We’ll see later more about this “if condition"  
If (n=1)  
We define here the future position of our dupplicated movies  
Set Variable: “YPosition” = 30  
Else  
Set Variable: “YPosition” = GetProperty (n-1, \_y) + RubHeight  
End If  
At last, we set our “YPosition” var to our dupplicated movie  
Set Property (n, Y Position) = YPosition  
We set the corresponding label for each rub dupplicated  
Set Variable: n&”:Label" = eval (“LabelRub”&n)  
End Loop  
We don’t need the original Rub MC, so we set to him an invisibility.  
Set Property (“Rub”, Visibility) = 0[/COLOR]

but my FLASHMX 2004 , trace the mistakes…

That looks like psuedo code to me… not actual actionscript.
