i know how to attach a Movie Clip in one line i did this code  
for(i=0; i\<10; i++) {  
\_root.attachMovie(“ball”,“ball”+i, i);  
\_root[“ball”+i].\_x=i\*\_root[“ball”+i].\_width;  
}  
so this clip will generate 10 MovieClip in one line

the one i really want to do is i want 10 lines  
and each line that will make 10 Movie Clip  
how can i achieve this??

</div>

for(i=0; i\<10; i++) {

for(j=0; j\<10; j++) {  
d = \_root.depth++;  
\_root.attachMovie(“ball”,“ball”+d, d);  
\_root[“ball”+d].\_x=i\*\_root[“ball”+d].\_width;  
}

}

and if you want it to be gridlike (the new 10 going down too) use  
for(i=0; i\<10; i++) {

for(j=0; j\<10; j++) {  
d = \_root.depth++;  
\_root.attachMovie(“ball”,“ball”+d, d);  
\_root[“ball”+d].\_x=i\*\_root[“ball”+d].\_width;  
\_root[“ball”+d].\_y=j\*\_root[“ball”+d].\_height;  
}

}
