I have duplicated a MC with a delay, but cant name instances

1

Hello all,

I am using the below AS to remake a menu button 6 times, which works fine and does it at a delayed interval, but I can not seem to effect each button, I thought this line below gave them intance names of menubtn0 thru menbtn6, but it isnt…

var menubtn = menubtn.duplicateMovieClip ("menubtn"+i, i);

Here is all the code, and I also attached the fla, any help would be greatly apprciated.

Thanks!
