I want to duplicate this Movie Clip so that “bird.jpg” is loaded into all 6 Movie Clips. Why doesn’t this code work?

for (i=0; i\<6; i++) {  
miniHolder.duplicateMovieClip(“miniHolder”+i, i, {\_x:i_10, \_y:i_20, \_alpha:50});  
var bb = “miniHolder” + i;  
bb.loadMovie(“bird.jpg”, this.getNextHighestDepth());  
};
