This might be the silliest question ever, but please bear with me, as I am new to AS. I was wondering if it’s possible to do some sort of count to see how many “duplicate Movie Clips” there are on the stage at a certain time.

So I have AS in my game that duplicates a certain movie clip, I then need to know at a specific time how many of those duplicate movie clips are currently on the screen/stage.

I hope you understand. I would be really grateful for any help.  
Thanks!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
