Hi Im relatively new to actionscripting and im trying to modify the photo gallery tutorial which is on this site. I have provided the code below. Basically i have modified the original script with the help of other tutorials on this site. So right now i have it automatically changing between images with an interval of 3 seconds and also displaying the array of images in a random sequence. [COLOR=Black]What i really, really, really, really want it to do from here is to load this movie onto multiple movieclip targets situated on the stage, so that there are like 6 instances of the movie on stage.

If anyone could help me i would greatly appreciate it!!!(-:
