I’m having problems coding my stupid map maker… I have all the tiles I need done… but I can’t get the coding to work for nothing

All I wanted was the program to duplicate one tile and then draw it over and over… line make a box with the one tile… but it didn’t work… it wouldn’t even copy the tile :puzzle: but ya… could anyone give me some code that does that… like heres what I had

for (i = 1; i\>10;i++){  
duplicateMovieClip(“tile”, “t”+i, i);  
\_root[“t”+i].\_x = 100 + i\*20;  
\_root[“t”+i].\_y = 100;  
}

but it doesn’t draw the tiles across in a line… it doesn’t draw them at all ☹  
I hate it!
