I’m guessing duplicate the movieclip and then let its alpha value decrease quickly.

i was thinking it be easier, like a actionscript shortcut since doing it by hand would get kinda tedious :\

there is an actionscript code called duplicateMovieClip  
you could use it together with a for look if you want to duplicate it several times  
i.e.:  
for(var i=1;i\<=10;i++){  
originalmc.duplicateMovieClip(“copy”+i,i)  
[“copy”+i].\_y=originalmc.\_y-i\*10  
}

Add the extra line for an onionskin effect.

for(var i=1;i\<=10;i++){  
originalmc.duplicateMovieClip(“copy”+i,i);  
[“copy”+i].\_y=originalmc.\_y-i_10;  
[“copy”+i].\_alpha=originalmc.\_alpha-i_10;  
}
