hi,

i want to duplicate a line 4 times, and move each line on Yaxis, with a delay of 1sec each time.  
I know i must use setinterval+duplicateMovieClip, but i’ve got pbs ☹

actually, i’ve got my AS code on my line :

[color=Red]\*onClipEvent (load) {  
for (i=1; i\<4; i++) {  
duplicateMovieClip(“line”, [“line”+i], i);  
function delay() {  
slide(85);  
}  
myDelay = setInterval(delay, 1000);  
}  
}

\*[color=Black]line is the occurence of the line MC.  
“Slide” is a prototype to move my line on Y axis.

Can you help me ?

thanks very much
