Delete all the codes from your movieclips, give them the instance names cone1, cone2, … cone15 for example. Then place this underneath all your code in the timeline:

```auto

for(i=1;i<=15;i++){
this["cone"+i].onEnterFrame = move
this["cone"+i].onRelease = function(){
delete this.onEnterFrame
}
}

```

Untested, but should work.
