The following example duplicates a newly created MovieClip a number of times and traces

the target for each duplicate.

var container:MovieClip = setUpContainer();

var ln:Number = 10;

var spacer:Number = 1;

var duplicate:MovieClip;

for(var i:Number = 1; i < ln; i++) {

var newY:Number = i * (container._height + spacer);

duplicate = container.duplicateMovieClip("clip-" + i, i, {_y:newY});

trace(duplicate); // _level0.clip-[number]

}

function setUpContainer():MovieClip {

var mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",

this.getNextHighestDepth());

var w:Number = 100;

var h:Number = 20;

mc.beginFill(0x333333);

mc.lineTo(w, 0);

mc.lineTo(w, h);

mc.lineTo(0, h);

mc.lineTo(0, 0);

mc.endFill();

return mc;
