X = 160;
dupMovie = function () {
    for (i=1; i<10; i++) {
        piece.duplicateMovieClip("circle"+i, i,{
            _x:X*i, 
            _y:550
        });
    }
};
dupMovie();
button_left.onPress = function(){ 

i have this code in which circles, with a width of 160 and the rotation point set to the upper right hand corner,
line up side by side starting from the left edge of the screen and i want to be able to move all of the "circles" at once
i also wish to make the code flexible so if i change the number of circles i want to make, those will also be moved
haha and fyi this isnt my 1st post, i jsut lost my password and dont use that e-mail any more

X = 160;
moveAmt = 5;
piecesArray = new Array();
dupMovie = function () {
	for (i = 1; i < 10; i++) {
		piecesArray.push(piece.duplicateMovieClip("circle" + i, i, {_x:X * i, _y:150}));
	}
};
dupMovie();
button_left.onPress = function() {
	this.onEnterFrame = function() {
		for (i in piecesArray) {
			piecesArray[i]._x -= moveAmt;
		}
	};
};
button_left.onRelease = function() {
	delete this.onEnterFrame;
};
button_left.onReleaseOutside = button_left.onRelease;
