I want to attack a movieclip every second, ive tried having a go at added adding a set interval command, but i cant get it to work.  
Here’s ma code

attach = function () {  
for (i=0; i\<40; i++) {  
repeat = this.attachMovie(“ball”, “ball”+i, i);  
repeat.\_x = ((i_3)+30);  
repeat.\_y = ((i_3)+30);  
repeat.\_rotation = (20\*(i\*2));  
}  
};

I can get it to attach them all at once, but i cant get it to do it one by one

thanks  
🙂
