I have two “for” statements in a row in one frame, which duplicate two different movies. First one creates 7 copies of one movie and the second one creates 30 copies of another movie. When I write the first one only it duplicates 7 movies, works fine. When i write the second one it works properly but the first one stops working. The question is:

Why:q:

Here’s the code if needed:

```auto
weekdays = new Array ("Su","Mo","Tu","We","Th","Fr","Sa")
now = new Date();
weekd._x = -25;
ox = weekd._x * -1;
days._x = -25;

for (i = 0;i<weekdays.length;i++) {
	_root.weekd.duplicateMovieClip("weekd"+i,i);
	_root["weekd"+i]._x = ox * i + 30;
}
for (j = 1;j<31;j++) {
	_root.days.duplicateMovieClip("days"+j,j);
	_root["days"+j]._x = ox2 * j + 30;
}

```
