Hi All,

I have a MovieClip that consists of 10 frames which are pages of a book.  
I’d like to lay out the frames into the screen to see all of them.

Firstly, I thought that converting every frame to a sprite is a good idea but I couldn’t make it.

Second, I tried to clone the MovieClip, but it also seems nightmare.

Do you have any idea?

Regards,  
Viktor

I guess easiest solution would be something like

```auto

for (var i:int = 1;i<11;i++) {
  var m:ClassName = new ClassName();
  addChild(m);
  m.gotoAndStop(i); 
  m.x = 45*i;
}

```

Thanks the quick reply,

the problem is that this swf comes from a server that accomplishes the pdf 2 swf transformation  
it means that we have only one instance of this movieclip embedded in the swf and got it through the urlloader’s data.
