I need help with something

1

OK, i am working on an experiment, just toying around with actionscript. I want the final result to be a stage with a certain number of circle MC’s moving around. I have made the circle MC, and added the AS so that it will start at a random point with a random color, then start moving around randomly. I want to make it so that In the begginning the document will duplicate the movie clip x amount of times, using a for loop. I want to then have all the new circles move around, and when two circles hit each other, they will dissappear, using the removeclip function. You can only use this on duplicated movieclips though, so how would i make all the circles duplicated? Is there a way to duplicate the original movieclip x amount of times then delete it? Or is there a way to remove the original after it is in a collision? Please help. Also I don’t know how to do the collision detection. I am thinking of using a hittest, but would i just do it with a for loop? is there a way so that if an MC hits any other MC?
