i’m in my first classes of action script. what i have to do is very simple: a small square must appear, after half a second or so,to the right of the preceding square.after completing 10 squares, it must start in a new row, behind the first. in other words, it must complete a grid of squares.  
i know \*\*for, if, attachMovie, onEnterFrame, \*\*with this is more than enough to do this, but i just can’t figure out how.  
onEnterFrame=function(){  
for(i=1;i\<10;i++){  
var clip\_mc=MovieClip  
clip\_mc=\_root.attachMovie(“circle”,“ball\_mc”+i,i)  
clip\_mc.\_x=i\*30  
clip\_mc.\_y=190  
}  
};

of course this did´t work, what am i doing wrong? how can i make the squares appear sequentially???  
please help!!!:puzzled:
