Ok…  
After that wordy title, I want to know how to do just that. Here is a better explanation.

I have a movieClip that is called “buttonCase” with AS on it. What I want to do, is add that movieClip to the stage as many times as defined in my AS “showcaseNumber=5” plus the width of the previous one so they do not stack up.

I’m curious how to do this… Do I use loadMovie or loadClip or is there something else that I can use. Should I createEmptyMovieClip and put that in a for loop? I just really do not know. Any help would be GReAT!

Thanks!
