Why cant this be simple?

1

heres what I need to do.

1: make a move clip.
2: load a image in to that clip.
3: get _width and _height of image after load via loadClip and onLoadInit.
4: Make new _mc’s that tile across the stage left to right, top to bottom.

#4 is the part I can get past. should I use a duplicateMovieClip or attachMovie in a for() statement?

heres what I got to start.


this.createEmptyMovieClip("test", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(this);
  mcLoader.loadClip(
                    "test.jpg", 
                    this.test
                    );

function onLoadInit(mc:MovieClip) {
   var nImages:Number = 6; //number of images to tile
   for(i = 0; i<nImages; i++){
      test.duplicateMovieClip(_root, "test"+i,  this.getNextHighestDepth())
      // then I need it to space by size of image _width and so one, but***
   }
}

*** I cant get this to even make other _mc’s for some reason.
